The research conducted within the Center for Sources and Uses of Radiation led by Professor Asher Yahlom, Head of the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Ariel University, found that irradiation with millimeter waves by a synthesizer (weak source) for 2-4 minutes changes the morphological properties, that is, changes the shape and dimensions of the cell and its nucleus (with implications for physiological changes). The radiation causes the suppression of cell division, the aging of the cancer cells and the death of 2-4 times more than control cells of the same type.
It has been proven that the irradiation by millimeter waves for 10 minutes by a synthesizer (weak source) causes the complete death of lung cancer cells.
In this study, researchers from different fields from the Faculties of Natural Sciences and Engineering at Ariel University took part, the researchers combined multidisciplinary knowledge to test the ability of electromagnetic waves at GMM frequencies to cause the selective elimination of cancer cells.
The members of the research team are: Dr. Stella Aronov from the Department of Biology who was engaged in the examination and understanding of biological mechanisms that take part in the effect of millimeter wave radiation on cancer cells and the absence of these mechanisms in healthy human cells. Prof. Konstantin Komoshvili, Prof. Yaakov Levitan, Prof. Asher Yaholum physicists whose research involved performing the screenings and studying the interaction of the millimeter waves with the cells. Prof. Moshe Einat and Prof. Boris Kapilevich from the Faculty of Engineering were engaged in setting up different systems for screening.
In the study, experiments were carried out in which lung cancer cells (1299H) were irradiated by millimeter waves under unexplored conditions (3-4 mm in a continuous frequency scan) with the help of a synthesizer (a wave source that enables the production of waves in a wide range of wavelengths and at low power) see Figure 1 This is screening in the frequency range of 75-110 gigahertz where the frequency changes every tenth of a millisecond until the entire frequency range is scanned within 2000 steps.
The irradiation was also carried out at individual frequencies with the help of a FEL (free electron laser), based on a tandem type particle accelerator which is a unique facility located at Ariel University and recognized as a national knowledge center, see Figure 2. The free electron laser enables irradiation at powers a million times greater than the synthesizer.

Cancer is one of the main causes of death in the world. Standard treatments help in some cases, but in a significant number of cases the cancer spreads and the mortality rate is high. Therefore, the development of new and selective treatments for the different types of cancer is required. During the last few years, the issue of the effect of millimeter waves (MMWs are electromagnetic waves whose wavelength is about 1 mm) on biological objects has received a lot of attention. Despite the efforts of researchers all over the world, there is still no complete understanding of the processes that occur in cancer cells under the irradiation by millimeter waves. Despite this, all researchers agree on the existence of the effect.
The results in the combined study were obtained by irradiation of millimeter waves with low power (less than 1 mW) with the help of a scanning synthesizer, healthy cells irradiated under the same conditions did not show any effect. Similar results were obtained in irradiations with high powers (0.5-2 kW) with short irradiation times (4-5 microseconds) with the help of (FEL) Free Electron Laser.
These experiments prove that it is possible to achieve an effective anti-cancer effect on lung cancer cells by irradiation at high power, high frequency and in very short times. A high-power device (as opposed to a low-power device), allows the electromagnetic waves to penetrate deep into tissues. The irradiation conditions in a high-power device can be suitable for testing anti-cancer effects in the irradiation of cancer models in animals and in the future also in humans.

  1. What is the mechanism?
    I thought the conventional wisdom was that non-ionizing radiation causes no biological effects other than heating and responding to specific receptors.
    Could this show anything about cellular/wifi radiation effects?

  2. These are cancer cells that were removed from a patient's body and continued to multiply in a petri dish in the laboratory. This is the first step and the treatment inside the body may take years - if at all it will be successful.

  3. Peace,
    Is targeted radiation suitable for every lung cancer?
    Why was my mother offered 30 funds and not a targeted one?
    Is the targeted still considered coverage or is it offered to everyone?

  4. Read about the treatment method of royal rife from 1920
    Irradiation with a magnetic wave at the frequency of the cancer cell can cause it to resonate...

    It's not really clear what your question is. It's also quite likely that this is not the right place to ask, but you can always try.

  6. Legal's response: You are right, this facility is for making wide attempts. In our laboratories, desktop devices are also developed that fit easily in a normal doctor's room. After the end of the research and the discovery of the optimal parameters, a small and compact device will be built that exactly meets the needs that will turn out to be optimal.
    Response to 3B: These are millimeter waves with a wavelength of about XNUMX mm, and this is a higher frequency than microwaves, which have a typical wavelength of about ten centimeters.
    Response to Sima:
    The test is not done in a gel as you wrote, these are in a liquid where, as you know, there are no holes. That's why the explanation you offered doesn't belong at all. Although there is still a long way to go, the phenomenon has been observed and gives hope for innovative, fast and effective treatment, which can relieve many people who are suffering. If you have real knowledge that can help (and it seems so) it is better to use it wisely and cooperatively and not in a spiteful way.

  7. There is another more interesting line - to mark cancer cells with metal ions (gold has been found to be effective) and then focus radiation on them.

    It is not clear why exactly cancer cells were vulnerable to microwave radiation (the usual name for low-level electromagnetic radiation).

  8. 1. The effect is selective: after ten minutes of irradiation, complete mortality was observed in lung cancer cells and no change was observed in normal cells.
    2. The effect is not thermal: no increase in the temperature of the petri dish was measured. Note that these are milliwatts of the supplier.

  9. I would have expected a little more academic depth from the author of the article. Basic things such as reference to the study itself and comparison to similar studies and not just general descriptions using wavelengths and energy levels as scientific cover.
    I am starting from the point of view that the researcher did significant research, but the description in the article is guilty of this.

  10. Nonsense
    The source of the change is differences in the growth pattern of cancer cells compared to normal cells
    Cancer cells are grown in a Petri dish with a wave and create tiny holes in the growth substrate. Millimeter waves are absorbed by the holes and heat the substrate and thus kill the cancer cells.
    If cancer cells are mixed with normal cells they will radiate the substrate the only cells that will survive if there are any will be the cancer cells
    I wonder who the fryer is who puts hundreds of thousands of shekels in salaries for amateurs.

  11. Herzl is right.

    also. A few months ago it was published about an innovative treatment to eliminate cancer by bombarding tissue with neutrons. First, the treatment was not innovative and had already been offered for decades and failed. We will fail because we were not selective enough. In the article at the time, they did not mention the matter of selectivity or they mentioned it in weak language, which creates a wrong impression.

    The issue of the selective effect (killing cancer cells without killing healthy cells) is the main issue for the success of any anti-cancer treatment. Otherwise, as they say: the operation was successful and the patient died.

  12. It is possible to cause complete death of visual cancer cells using electromagnetic waves of any frequency. So the title is a bit funny. A selectivity of 2-4 times is not really an interesting result, because it has no chance of medical use. I am guessing that by simply heating on a wick you will get the same selectivity. And if anything - did they compare it to just a warm-up? I'm guessing the whole effect was that the millimeter waves heated the cells.
    So the research may be interesting, just don't ignore the obvious and don't write bombastic headlines. So yes, write that 2-4 times selectivity in killing cancer cells compared to healthy ones is a start and there is hope that the ratio can be increased.
