Beneficial Effects of Electromagnetic Radiation in Cancer

In the last three decades, a large number of studies have been arisen, which dealt with the effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in biological systems (Aaron & Ciombor, 1993; Tao & Henderson, 1999; Tofani et al., 2002b; Walker et al., 2007). The EMFs have been used in very important technological applications that concern in diagnosis (e.g. MRI, X-rays, CT). A part of scientific community turned its interest to the application of EMFs in the treatment of various pathological conditions, mainly in experimental level, such as osteoporosis, the bone fractures, muscle regeneration, diabetes, arthritis and neurological disorders (Barker et al., 1984; Bassett et al., 1974a; Dortch & Johnson, 2006; Fischer et al., 2005; László et al., 2011; Otter et al., 1998; Tabrah et al., 1990; Wang et al., 2010). The last decades EMFs are gradually being used in the research field of one of the most deadly disease known to man, cancer.
