Abstract In considering the therapy of
cancer, the author has been interested in the internal dielectric heating property
of microwaves and applied their capacity of rapid protein coagulation to
medical treatment. With the purpose of
utilizing this phenomenon for the resection of fragile parenchymatous
organs, the experiment was conducted on rabbit livers, which wer3e irradiated
with microwaves for about 3 min. The
effect of this phenomenon on cancer cells was also observed. Malignant tumors
induced in rats were exposed to microwave radiation for 2 min. |
