[In vitro studies of the effect of a pulsed electromagnetic field on normal and cancer cells].

Abstract

The effect of an electromagnetic field of 100 Hz during 5 msec on HeLa, MMT and LMMB cell lines in vitro was investigated by means of videophotomicrography. An inhibition of cell growth of cancer cells was observed after the simultaneous action of light and electromagnetic field. The combined effect was also proved using plating efficiency tests.
