B16 melanoma development in black mice exposed to low-level microwave radiation

Bioelectromagnetics. 1988;9(1):105-7. doi: 10.1002/bem.2250090110.

Abstract

The effect of low-level microwave exposure, 2,450 MHz, at a power density of 1 mW/cm2 and specific absorption rate of 1.2 mW/g, continuous waves (CW) or pulsed waves (PW), 2.5 h/day, 6 sessions/week until death (up to 690 h of irradiation), has been studied in black C57/6J mice with B16 melanoma. The results show that no significant effects are observed on tumor development or on survival times compared to controls, or between CW- and PW-treated animals.
