METHOD FOR INDUCING APOPTOSIS IN TUMOR CELLS Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: oncology. SUBSTANCE: tumor cells are affected by rotating magnetic field, whose magnetic induction vector modulus assumes zero value in the beginning of cycle, then smoothly rises achieving maximum level, whereupon smoothly falls, and achieves zero value by the end of cycle, said cycle lasting at most 5 min, procedure duration being at least 15 min, and induction course including at least 30 procedures. EFFECT: enabled destruction of tumor without formation of tumor necrosis and damage of surrounding tissue cells. 2 ex
