China Broadcasting Network, Beijing, March 29 (Reporter Feng Ganyong, Correspondent Constant) A few days ago, according to several authoritative media reports in the world: Israeli researchers found that irradiating cancer cells with millimeter waves can prevent their regeneration without destroying the cells. This discovery is Radiotherapy for cancer treatment provides a new way. At the just-concluded 3rd International IEEE Microwave, Communication, Antenna and Electronic Systems Conference in Tel Aviv, researchers from Israel’s Ariel University announced the discovery and said that their research has been funded by relevant European institutions.

Professor Aharom of Ariel University said that they used millimeter waves to irradiate lung cancer cells and found that the cancer cells had lost their ability to regenerate, while healthy cells were not affected. “This is undoubtedly great news for cancer radiotherapy.”

Yaharom said that the radiation used in human cancer treatment is ionizing radiation, which can kill cancer cells as well as other cells. "We chose non-ionizing millimeter wave radiation, which only destroys certain functions of cells. Not the cell itself". The millimeter wave is different from visible light and microwave, its generation has certain difficulty, but with the advancement of science and technology, its difficulty is decreasing. As the director of the University’s Free Electron Laser Laboratory, Yaharom and others used special magnetic structures and accelerated electron methods to obtain this millimeter wave.

The research teams of Israeli and Danish universities have received funding from the Eva Henry Foundation of Denmark. The people concerned claim that the major discovery of millimeter wave treatment of cancer is a contribution to mankind.
