ABSTRACT

Electromagnetic frequencies (EMF) that are generated from different electronic devices can interact with biological systems including humans. Several theories described the effects of EMF on the growth of in vitro cancer cell lines and biological systems, which revealed that EMF could inhibit cancer cell growth or decrease viability depending on the field strength and frequency. Accordingly, in this study, we are targeting to assess the effect of the anticancer-extracted electromagnetic spectrums on the growth of two types of cell lines which are the breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and human embryonic kidney HEK293 as a control cell line. Drugs digitalized electromagnetic spectrums of a mixture of anticancer medications were generated using a DigiConPro® VITATEC device emitted using the supplied antenna and applied to a 96-well culture plate containing MCF-7 and HEK293. The cell viability was performed by MTT assay after three days. The post-exposure effect of anticancers' electromagnetic spectrums was determined on the cancer cell line. Anticancers’ electromagnetic spectrums were seen to cause a statistically significant (p<0.05) decrease in the growth rate relative to the control after three days of exposure to the electromagnetic spectrums. Three doses of anticancers’ electromagnetic spectrums were applied as a dose per day, and each dose was running for 5 hours which induced a reduction in MCF-7 growth compared to the control group, while the HEK293 showed no statistically significant decrease in the growth rate. As a conclusion, electromagnetic spectrums of the anticancer medications may have the same effect as the chemical compound.
