Results of complex therapy for malignant brain gliomas using alternating magnetic fields of extremely low frequences and constant magnetic field

The efficacy of application of magnetic fields in chemoradiotherapy for malignant brain gliomas was analyzed. Thirty patients with malignant brain gliomas underwent radical surgery followed by chemoradiorherapy. The region of hypothalamus was exposed to extremely low-frequency magnetic fields of induction from 5 to 0.8 mT and the surgical region was exposed to 20 mT constant magnetic field. Clinical response was observed in 93.3 % of the magnetic field-treated patients and in 40 % of the control group patients who had not received magnitotherapy. Disease progression was observed in 6.7 % and in 46.7 % of the studied and control group patients, respectively (p
