Reductions of 19.04 k 7.3296, 22.06 k 6.19%, and 40.68 ? 8.31 % were measured for
the melanoma, ovarian carcinoma, and lymphoma cell lines, respectively, vs. control groups not exposed
to the magnetic field. Multicycle flow cytometry revealed that the cell cycle was largely unaltered.
Pulsed-field electrophoresis analysis revealed no increase in DNA breaks related to magnetic
field exposure. In conclusion, prolonged exposure to a very strong magnetic field appeared to inhibit
the growth of threc human tumor cell lines in vitro. The mechanism underlying this effect has not, as
yet, been identified, although alteration of cell growth cycle and gross fragmentation of DNA have
been excluded as possible contributory factors. Future investigations of this phenomenon may have
a significant impact on the future understanding and treatment of cancer.
