Abstract
Extremely low frequency (ELF) pulsed‐gradient magnetic field (with the maximum intensity of 0.6–2.0T, gradient of 10–100T·M^−1^, pulse width of 20–200ms and frequency of 0.16–1.34Hz treatment of mice can inhibit murine malignant tumour growth, as seen from analyses at different hierarchical levels, from organism, organ, to tissue, and down to cell and macromolecules. Such magnetic fields induce apoptosis of cancer cells, and arrest neoangiogenesis, preventing a supply developing to the tumour. The growth of sarcomas might be amenable to such new method of treatment.
