Possible effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields on in vivo C6 brain tumors in Wistar rats

Purpose Glioblastoma is a malignant brain tumor which has one of the poorest prognosis. It is not clear if toxic environmental factors can influence its aggressiveness. Recently, it was suggested that brain cancer patients with heavy cell phone use showed reduced survival. Here we aimed to assess the effect of controlled brain averaged specific absorption rate (BASAR) from heavy use of cell phone radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF–EMF) on in vivo C6 brain tumors in Wistar rats.
