[0011] The above publications are related to an earlier device,
system and use thereof described in said EP 0 592 851 B1. The
improved electronic system and programmed control thereof in
accordance with the present invention, however, has been determined
to find therapeutic application not only for influencing cellular
functions (or malfunctions) leading to central nervous system (CNS)
disorders, but more particularly for influencing other cellular
functions (or malfunctions) including directly or indirectly
influencing cancerous cell growth or proliferation thereof in
warm-blooded mammalian subjects. The direct or indirect influence
on cancerous cell growth may involve but is not necessarily limited
to any of prophylactic avoidance of cancerous cell formation,
influencing of cell functions such as for example influencing
leukocyte cell functions which can lead to inhibition of cancerous
cell growth or proliferation thereof, and/or killing of cancerous
cells harboured by a warm-blooded mammalian subject.
[0012] Electromagnetic energy generating devices and use of
electromagnetic energies for treating living mammalian subjects
harbouring cancerous cells described in the literature include:
U.S. Pat. No. 5,908,441 issued Jun. 1, 1999 to Bare; James E. and
the references cited therein and so-called "NovoCure technology"
involving in vivo implantation of electrodes to either side of
tumorous growths. This literature however does not contemplate very
low energy emissions of electromagnetic energy involving
amplitude-modulated high frequency carrier signals as required in
terms of the present invention.
[0013] U.S. Pat. No. 5,690,692 issued on Nov. 25, 1997 entitled
"Bio-Active Frequency Generator and Method" describes a
programmable control which instructs a frequency synthesizer to
enable generation of an electrical current at a specific precise
frequency signal or at a series of specific precise frequencies
signals having a square wave form to within an accuracy of 0.001
Hz. This Patent contemplates amplifying the voltage of the
generated signals and applying the signals to a subject at the
specific precise frequency or sequentially at the series of
specific precise frequencies by means of electrodes held by or
otherwise connected to the subject (which may be a mammal or a
food). Once again, this Patent does not contemplate very low energy
emissions involving amplitude-modulated high frequency carrier
signals as required in terms of the present invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0014] In one aspect of the invention, an electronic system is
provided which is activatable by electrical power. The system is
employed to influence cellular functions or malfunctions in a
warm-blooded mammalian subject. The system comprises one or more
controllable low energy electromagnetic energy generator circuits
for generating one or more high frequency radio frequency RF
carrier signals. One or more microprocessors or integrated circuits
comprising or communicating with the one or more generator circuits
are provided which are also for receiving control information from
a source of programmed control information. The one or more
generator circuits include one or more amplitude modulation control
signal generators for controlling amplitude modulated variations of
the one or more high frequency carrier signals. The one or more
generator circuits furthermore include one or more programmable
amplitude modulation frequency control signal generators for
controlling the frequency at which the amplitude modulations are
generated. The one or more amplitude modulation frequency control
generators are, in terms of an important improvement of the present
invention, adapted to accurately control the frequency of the
amplitude modulations to within an accuracy of at least 1000 ppm
relative to one or more determined or predetermined reference
amplitude modulation frequencies selected from within a range of
0.01 Hz to 150 kHz. The system furthermore comprises a connection
or coupling position for connection or coupling to or being
connected or coupled to an electrically conductive applicator for
applying to the warm-blooded mammalian subject the one or more
amplitude-modulated low energy emissions at said accurately
controlled modulation frequencies.
[0015] As used herein, the term, "accurately controlled" means that
the modulated low energy electromagnetic emissions should be
modulated to within a resolution of at most about 1 Hz of intended
higher frequencies (greater than about 1000 Hz) determined or
predetermined modulation frequencies. For example, if one of the
one or more determined or predetermined modulation frequencies to
be applied to the warm-blooded mammalian subject is about 2000 Hz,
the accurate control should lead to such modulated low energy
emission being generated at a frequency of between about 1999 and
about 2001 Hz. However, and in terms of what has been determined
from experiences in treating human subjects harbouring cancerous
cells with the aim of arresting proliferation or killing of such
cells, it is preferable that the accurate control should lead to a
resolution of about 0.5, more preferably about 0.1, yet more
preferably about 0.01 and indeed most preferably about 0.001 Hz of
the intended determined or predetermined modulation frequency.
[0016] Of importance is the requirement for emissions to be at a
very low and safe energy level and result in low levels of
absorption, the reason believed to be that physiological exchanges
or flow of electrical impulses within warm-blooded animals (which
are to be affected by application of the emissions of the present
invention) are similarly at very low energy levels. In any event,
in the region (at or near to the position of contact or close-by
induction of the electrically conductive applicator with a subject
receiving treatment), the specific absorption rate (SAR) should be
and is most preferably substantially less than 1.6 milliW/g weight
of living tissue.
[0017] Furthermore of importance to achieve the intended biological
therapeutic effect is that the stability of the emissions be
maintained during emission, and that such stability should
preferably be of the order of 10.sup.-5, more preferably 10.sup.-6,
and most preferably 10.sup.-7, stability being determined as the
relative deviation of frequency divided by the desired frequency,
e.g. 0.01 Hz (deviation)/1,000 Hz (desired freq.)=10.sup.-5.
[0018] As already described in said EP 0 592 851 B1, the system
includes a microprocessor (which may more recently be replaced by
an integrated circuit) into which control information is loaded
from an application storage device. The microprocessor (or now
alternatively integrated circuit) then controls the function of the
system to produce the desired therapeutic emissions. Also described
is the provision in the system of an impedance transformer
connected intermediate the emitter of low energy electromagnetic
emissions and a probe (here more broadly described as an
electrically conductive applicator) for applying the emissions to
the patient. The impedance transformer substantially matches the
impedance of the patient seen from the emitter circuit with the
impedance of the output of the emitter circuit.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] Referring to FIG. 1, presented is a modulated low energy
electromagnetic emission application system 11, in accordance with
the present invention. As described in prior U.S. Pat. Nos.
4,649,935 and 4,765,322, such a system has proven to be useful in
the practice of Low Energy Emission Therapy (LEET, a trademark of
Symtonic S.A. or a successor of this Company), which involves
application of emissions of low energy radio frequency (RF)
electromagnetic waves to a warm-blooded mammalian subject. The
application has proven to be an effective mode of treating a
warm-blooded mammalian subject suffering from central nervous
system (CNS) disorders such as, for example, generalized anxiety
disorders, panic disorders, sleep disorders including insomnia,
psychiatric disorders such as depression, obsessive compulsive
disorders, disorders resulting from substance abuse, sociopathy,
post traumatic stress disorders or other disorders of the central
nervous system and combinations thereof.
[0032] The system includes an electrically conductive applicator
12, 13 for applying one or more electromagnetic emissions to the
warm-blooded mammalian subject. One form of applicator may consist
of an electrically conductive probe or mouthpiece 13 which is
inserted into the mouth of a subject undergoing treatment. Probe 13
is connected to an electromagnetic energy emitter (see also FIG.
2), through coaxial cable 12 and impedance matching transformer
14.
[0033] It has previously been considered that an efficient
connection of an electrically conductive applicator to a subject
could only be achieved by means of a probe which is adapted to be
applied to any mucosa of the subject, such as by being located
within oral, nasal, optical, urethral, anal, and/or vaginal
cavities or surfaces. It has however now been determined that in
fact satisfactory application of emissions to a patient can be
achieved by simpler physical contact of the electrically conductive
applicator with the skin of the patient. Emissions to the patient
may, for example be achieved by a conductive, inductive, capacitive
or radiated coupling to the patient. An example of a coupling found
to be effective involving indirect physical contact with the skin
of a patient, is an insulated applicator to be placed over or
within an ear of the patient. The emissions thus passed to the
patient may be either by capacitive or radiated means or by a
combination of both. An important advantage of a device which does
not need to be placed in the mouth of a patient is that the patient
is able to speak clearly during a time of treatment and can receive
treatment during activities of daily living. The treatment is
accordingly more user-friendly, can be administered for longer
periods of time and can lead to enhanced patient compliance.
[0034] Electronic system 11 also includes a connector or coupler
for connection to a programmable device such as a computer or an
interface or receiver 16 which is adapted to receive an application
storage device 52 such as, for example, magnetic media,
semiconductor media, optical media or mechanically encoded media,
or programmed emissions programmed with control information
employed to control the operation of system 11 so that the desired
type of low energy emission therapy is applied to the patient.
[0035] Application storage device 52 can be provided with a
microprocessor which, when applied to interface 16, operates to
control the function of system 11 to apply the desired low energy
emission therapy. Alternatively, application storage device 52 can
be provided with a microprocessor which is used in combination with
microprocessor 21 within system 11. In such case, the
microprocessor within device 52 could assist in the interfacing of
storage device 52 with system 11, or could provide security
checking functions.
[0036] System 11 may also include a display 17 which can display
various indications of the operation of system 11. In addition,
system 11 may include on and off power buttons 18 and 19,
optionally replaced by user interface 21A (refer to FIG. 2).
[0037] Referring to FIG. 2, presented is a block diagram of
exemplary electronic circuitry of system 11, in accordance with the
present invention. A data processor, such as for example,
microprocessor or integrated circuit 21, operates as the controller
for electronic system 11, and is connected to control the various
components of the system 11, for example, through address bus 22,
data bus 23 and input/output lines 25. The block diagram of FIG. 2
is modified as compared to FIG. 2 of EP 0 592 851 B1 by including
what is known as a digital direct synthesizer (DDS) 31 which
operates as a accurate and stable modulation frequency generator
within the system 11. An exemplary DDS device is available from
Analog Devices of Norwood, Mass. 02062-9106, USA, Part No AD9835.
The device is a numerically controlled oscillator and modulation
capabilities are provided for phase modulation and frequency
modulation. As represented by dotted line block 102, entitled
"PROCESSOR WITH DAC", the functionality of the DDS may also be
combined with microprocessor 21 with digital to analogue converter
(DAC).
[0038] Microprocessor 21 preferably includes internal storage for
the operation of a coded control program, and temporary data. In
addition, microprocessor 21 may include input/output ports and
internal timers. Microprocessor 21 may be a microcontroller, for
example microcontrollers 8048 or 8051 available from Intel
Corporation of Santa Clara, Calif. 95054-1549, USA.
[0039] The timing for microprocessor 21 is provided by system clock
oscillator 26A which may be run at any clock frequency suitable for
the particular type of microprocessor used. An exemplary clock
frequency is about 8.0 MHz. Oscillator 26A may be replaced by
reference frequency oscillator 26 which secures the stability of
the accurate modulation frequency. RF (radio frequency) oscillator
32 may also be employed for this purpose. A combination of
oscillators is represented by dotted line block 104, entitled
"OSCILLATOR".
[0040] An exemplary operating program for microprocessor 21 is
presented in flow chart form with reference to FIGS. 11a-d of EP 0
592 851 B1. In general, microprocessor 21 functions to control
controllable electromagnetic energy generator circuit 29 to produce
a desired form of modulated low energy electromagnetic emission for
application to a subject through applicator or probe 13.
[0041] Dotted line block 29, entitled CONTROLLABLE GENERATOR,
includes DDS modulation frequency generator 31 and carrier signal
oscillator 32. Microprocessor 21 operates to activate or deactivate
controllable generator circuit 29 through oscillator disable line
33, as described in greater detail in EP 0 592 851 B1. Controllable
generator circuit 29 also includes an AM modulator and power
generator 34 which operates to amplitude modulate a carrier signal
produced by carrier oscillator 32 on carrier signal line 36, with a
modulation signal produced by modulation signal generator circuit
31 on modulation signal line 37. The combination of the
functionality of the DDS modulation frequency generator 31, with
processor 21 with DAC, represented by dotted line block 102,
enables output lines 33 and 37 to be combined to produce a single
signal. The combination furthermore enables arbitrary or periodic
wave forms of any shape to be generated, as similarly described in
EP 0 592 851 B1.
[0042] AM modulator and power generator 34 produces an amplitude
modulated carrier signal on modulated carrier signal line 38, which
is then applied to emitter output filter circuit 39. The filter
circuit 39 is connected to probe or applicator 13 via power
emission sensor 54, coaxial cable 12 and impedance transformer
14.
[0043] Microprocessor 21 controls DDS modulation signal generator
circuit 31 of controllable generator circuit 29 via interface lines
25.
[0044] As is illustrated and described in EU 0 592 851 B1,
microprocessor 21 may select a desired waveform stored in a
modulation waveform storage device 43 and also controls a waveform
address generator 41 to produce on waveform address bus 42 a
sequence of addresses which are applied to modulation signal
storage device 43 in order to retrieve the selected modulation
signal. In the embodiment described in EP 0 592 851 B1, the desired
modulation signal is retrieved from modulation signal storage
device 43 and applied to modulation signal bus 44 in digital form.
Modulation signal bus 44 is applied to wave form generator and DAC
46 which converts the digital modulation signal into analogue form.
This analogue modulation signal is then applied to a selective
filter 47 which, under control of microprocessor 21, filters the
analogue modulation signal by use of a variable filter network
including resistor 48 and capacitors 49 and 51 in order to smooth
the wave form produced by DAC 46 on modulation signal line 20.
[0045] A further embodiment possibility is a combination of
PROCESSOR WITH DAC dotted line block 102 with OSCILLATOR dotted
line block 104 or with a combination of oscillators 26 and 26A.
With such a combination, the hardware solution described in EP 0
592 851 B1 can be realized internally in the processor 102 with
multiple outputs 33 and 37 or a single output combining these
signals.
[0046] The above embodiment from EP 0 592 851 B1 is in part
replaced by the functionality of the DDS modulation frequency
modulator 31. However, if it is determined that emissions of
different wave forms is desirable, it would be desirable to include
the modulation signal storage device 43 and wave form generator 46
described in EP 0 592 851 B1. Various modulation signal wave forms
may then be stored in modulation signal storage device 43. Wave
forms that have been successfully employed include square wave
forms or sinusoidal wave forms. Other possible modulation signal
wave forms include rectified sinusoidal, triangular, or other wave
forms and combinations of all of the above.
[0047] The particular modulation control information employed by
microprocessor 21 to control the operation of controllable
generator circuit 29, is stored in application storage device 52.
The application storage device is conveniently a computer
comprising or being for receiving the information. Alternatively,
application storage devices illustrated and described in EP 0 592
851 B1, with reference to FIGS. 12, 13, 14 and 15, may be
selected.
[0048] Interface 16 is configured as appropriate for the particular
application storage device 52 in use. Interface 16 translates the
control information stored in application storage device 52 into a
usable form for storage within the memory of microprocessor 21 to
enable microprocessor 21 to control controllable generator circuit
29 to produce the desired modulated low energy emission.
[0049] Interface 16 may directly read the information stored on
application storage device 52, or it may read the information
through use of various known communication links. For example,
radio frequency, microwave, laser, telephone, internet or optical
based communications links may be employed to transfer information
between interface or receiver 16 and application storage device or
computer 52.
[0050] The system 11 may comprise a user identification device,
included in block 21a in FIG. 2. Conveniently, such a device
communicates with the one or more data processors or integrated
circuits 21 via interface 16, as shown. The user identification
device may be of any type, a finger print reader being an example.
Such a reader is for example available from Lenovo, 70563
Stuttgart, Germany, Part No. 73P4774.
[0051] The control information stored in application storage device
or computer 52 specifies various controllable parameters of the
modulated low energy RF electromagnetic emission to be applied to a
subject through applicator or probe 13. Such controllable
parameters include, for example, but are not necessarily limited
to, the frequency and amplitude of the carrier, the amplitudes and
frequencies and wave forms of the modulation of the carrier, the
duration of the emission, the power level of the emission, the duty
cycle of the emission (i.e., the ratio of on time to off time of
pulsed emissions applied during a treatment), the sequence of
application of different modulation frequencies for a particular
application, and the total number of treatments and duration of
each treatment prescribed for a particular subject, and
combinations thereof.
[0052] For example, the carrier signal and modulation signal may be
selected to drive the applicator or probe 13 with an amplitude
modulated signal in which the carrier signal includes spectral
frequency components below about 1 GHz, and preferably between
about 1 MHz and about 900 MHz, and in which the modulation signal
comprises spectral frequency components between about 0.01 Hz and
150 KHz. The one or more modulation frequencies may be
simultaneously emitted or sequenced to form the modulation
signal.
[0053] As an additional feature, an electromagnetic emission sensor
53 may be provided to detect the presence of electromagnetic
emissions at the frequency of the carrier oscillator 32. Emission
sensor 53 provides microprocessor 21 with an indication of whether
or not electromagnetic emissions at the desired frequency are
present. Microprocessor 21 then takes appropriate action, for
example, by displaying an error message on display 17, disabling
controllable generator circuit 29, or the like.
[0054] A power sensor 54 is preferably included which detects the
amount of power applied to the subject through applicator or probe
13 compared to the amount of power returned or reflected from the
subject. This ratio is indicative of the proper use of the system
during a therapeutic session. Power sensor 54 applies to
microprocessor 21, through power sensor line 56, an indication of
the amount of power applied to patient through applicator or probe
13 relative to the amount of power reflected from the patient.
[0055] The indication provided on power sense line 56 may be
digitalized and employed by microprocessor 21, for example, to
detect and control a level of applied power, and to record on
application storage device 52 information related to the actual
treatments applied to and received by the patient. Such information
may then be used by a physician or other clinician to assess
patient treatment compliance and effect. Such treatment information
may include, for example: the number of treatments applied for a
given time period; the actual time and date of each treatment; the
number of attempted treatments; the treatment compliance (i.e.,
whether the applicator or probe was in place or not during the
treatment session); and the cumulative dose of a particular
modulation frequency.
[0056] The level of power applied is preferably controlled to cause
the specific absorption rate (SAR) of energy absorbed by the
patient to be from about 1 microWatt per kilogram of tissue to
about 50 Watts per kilogram of tissue. Preferably, the power level
is controlled to cause an SAR of from about 100 microWatts per
kilogram of tissue to about 10 Watts per kilogram of tissue. Most
preferably, the power level is controlled to cause an SAR of from
about 1 milliWatt per kilogram of tissue to about 100 milliWatts
per kilogram of tissue. These SARs may be in any tissue of the
patient, but are preferably in the tissue of the central nervous
system or the diseased tissue.
[0057] System 11 may also include powering circuitry including
battery and charger circuit 57 and battery voltage change detector
58.
[0058] The RF carrier oscillator 32 produces a RF carrier frequency
of about 27 MHz. Other embodiments of the invention contemplate RF
carrier frequencies of about 48 MHz, about 433 MHz or about 900
MHz. In general, the RF carrier frequency produced by carrier
oscillator 32 has spectral frequency components less than about 1
GHz and preferably between about 1 MHz and about 916 MHz. Although
the described embodiment contemplates that once set, the carrier
oscillator frequency remains substantially constant, the carrier
frequency produced by carrier oscillator 32 may be variable and
controllable by microprocessor 21 by use of stored or transmitted
control information.
[0059] Carrier oscillator 32 produces on carrier signal line 36 a
carrier signal which is then modulated by the modulation signal
carried on signal line 37.
[0060] Oscillator disable line 33 enables microprocessor 21 to
disable the signal from oscillator 32 by applying an appropriate
disable signal to oscillator disable line 33.
[0061] The output of the AM modulator and power generator 34
appears on signal line 38. This modulated signal is applied through
emitter output filter 39 which substantially reduces or eliminates
the carrier harmonics resulting from side effects of the modulator
and power generator circuit 34.
[0062] The output of the AM modulator and power generator 34 and
emitter output filter 39 may be designed to possess a 50 Ohm output
impedance to match a 50 Ohm impedance of coaxial cable 12.
[0063] It has been determined through impedance measurements that
when a probe 13 is applied within the mouth of a subject, the
probe/subject combination exhibits a complex impedance of the order
of about 150+j200 Ohms. Impedance transformer 14 serves to match
this complex impedance with the 50 Ohm impedance of coaxial cable
12 and therefore the output impedance of the AM modulator 34 and
output filter 39. This promotes power transmission, and minimizes
reflections.
[0064] The arrangement described above has been optimized for a
contact probe with coupling to the mucosa of the mouth. In a
further example, a conductive, isolated probe has been used at a
frequency around 433 MHz coupling to the outer ear channel. Due to
the different probe design in such a frequency band and with this
coupling method, the values of matching elements (79 and 81
described in EP 0592 851 B1) would be different or could even be
omitted. Applicator or probe 13 may then be regarded as a
capacitive coupler or as an antenna matched to the capacitive
load.
[0065] As described in EP 0 592 851 B1, with reference to the flow
charts of FIGS. 11a-d, microprocessor 21 may operate to analyse the
signal appearing on power sense line 56 to determine and control
the amount of power applied to the patient, and to assess patient
treatment compliance, and possibly to record indicia of the patient
treatment compliance on application storage device 52 for later
analysis and assessment by a physician or other clinician.
[0066] Exemplary of treatments performed on patients have included
brain, bladder, colorectal, kidney, mesothelium, neuroendocrine,
liver, lung, breast, ovary, pancreas, prostate and thyroid tumour
types. The treatments involved applying an about 27.12 MHz RF
signal, amplitude modulated at specifically defined frequencies
ranging from about 0.2 to about 23,000 Hz at very high precision
and stability. Further Examples of treatment modes (at specific
accurately controlled AM frequencies) for specified types of
tumours are described in detail below.

[0069] Background: In vitro studies suggest that low levels of
amplitude-modulated electromagnetic fields may modify cell growth.
Specific frequencies have been identified specific frequencies that
may block cancer cell growth. A portable and programmable device
capable of delivering low levels of amplitude-modulated
electromagnetic fields has been developed. The device emits a 27.12
MHz radiofrequency signal, amplitude-modulated at cancer-specific
frequencies ranging from 0.2 to 23,000 Hz with high precision. The
device is connected to a spoon-like coupler, which is placed in the
patient's mouth during treatment.
[0070] Methods: A phase I study was conducted consisting of three
daily 40 min treatments. From March 2004 to September 2006, 24
patients with advanced solid tumors were enrolled. The median age
was 57.0.+-.12.2 years. 16 patients were female. As of January
2007, 5 patients are still on therapy, 13 patients died of tumor
progression, 2 patients are lost to follow-up and one patient
withdrew consent. The most common tumor types were breast (7),
ovary (5) and pancreas (3). 22 patients had received prior systemic
therapy and 16 had documented tumor progression prior to study
entry.
[0071] Results: The median duration of therapy was 15.7.+-.19.9
weeks (range: 0.4-72.0 weeks). There were no NCI grade 2, 3 or 4
toxicities. Three patients experienced grade 1 fatigue during and
immediately after treatment. 12 patients reported severe pain prior
to study entry. Two of them reported significant pain relief with
the treatment. Objective response could be assessed in 13 patients,
6 of whom also had elevated tumor markers. 6 additional patients
could only be assessed by tumor markers. Among patients with
progressive disease at study entry, one had a partial response for
>14.4 weeks associated with >50% decrease in CEA, CA 125 and
CA 15-3 (previously untreated metastatic breast cancer); one
patient had stable disease for 34.6 weeks (add info); one patient
had a 50% decrease in CA 19-9 for 12.4 weeks (recurrent pancreatic
cancer). Among patients with stable disease at enrollment, four
patients maintained stable disease for 17.0, >19.4, 30.4 and
>63.4 weeks.
[0072] Conclusions: The treatment is a safe and promising novel
treatment modality for advanced cancer. A phase II study and
molecular studies are ongoing to confirm those results.

[0074] Background: Phase I data suggest that low levels of
electromagnetic fields amplitude-modulated at specific frequencies
administered intrabucally with the device of Example A are a safe
and potentially effective treatment for advanced cancer. The device
emits a 27.12 MHz RF signal, amplitude-modulated with
cancer-specific frequencies ranging from 0.2 to 23,000 Hz with high
precision. The device is connected to a spoon-like coupler placed
in the patient's mouth during treatment. Patients with advanced
hepatocellular carcinoma HCC and limited therapeutic options were
offered treatment with a combination of HCC-specific
frequencies.
[0075] Methods: From October 2005 to October 2006, 38 patients with
advanced HCC were recruited in a phase II study. The patients
received three daily 40 min treatments until disease progression or
death. The median age was 64.0.+-.14.2 years. 32 patients were male
and 29 patients had documented progression of disease (POD) prior
to study entry.
[0076] Results: As of January 2007, 12 patients are still on
therapy, 20 patients died of tumor progression, 2 patients are lost
to follow-up and 3 patients withdrew consent. 27 patients are
eligible for response. The overall objective response rate as
defined by partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) in patients
with documented POD at study entry was 31.6%: 3 PR and 9 SD. The
median survival was 20.7 weeks with a median duration of therapy of
17.5 weeks. 13 patients have received therapy for more than six
months. The median duration of response is 12.9 weeks. 12 patients
reported pain at study entry: 8 of them (66%) experienced decreased
pain during treatment. There were no NCI grade 2/3/4 toxicities.
One patient developed grade 1 mucositis and grade 1 fatigue.

[0077] Conclusion: In patients with advanced HCC the treatment is a
safe and effective novel therapeutic option, which has antitumor
effect and provides pain relief in the majority of patients.
[0078] Thus, it is seen that the electronic device of the present
invention, comprising means for the accurate control over the
frequencies and stability of amplitude modulations of a high
frequency carrier signal, provides a safe and promising novel
treatment modality for the treatment of patients suffering from
various types of advanced forms of cancer.

frequencies controlling the frequency of amplitude modulations of a
high frequency carrier signal are set forth below along with the
type of cancer or tumour harboured by a subject to be treated.

[0097] The above Examples reflect AM frequencies determined by a
bio-feedback procedure involving very substantial observations and
measurements of physiological responses (at certain well defined AM
frequencies) by subjects exposed to low energy electromagnetic
emission excitation. In general, it is recommended that all of the
listed frequencies be applied in the treatment of subjects
suffering from the indicated form of cancer. However, a limited
number of the listed frequencies also lead to beneficial
effects.
[0098] Of note in respect of the above listed frequencies, in
particular those Examples including a large number of frequencies,
it has earlier on been determined that beneficial therapeutic
effects are achieved by application of some but not all of the
frequencies listed. However, following on more extended trials, it
has been determined that application to subjects of further
frequencies enhance the efficacy of treatment and yields
therapeutic effects in patients whose tumours have become resistant
to therapy. It is accordingly preferred that all of the determined
listed frequencies be applied to the subject. The mechanism of
including additional frequencies is attributed to either or both of
inter-active synergism between applied frequencies or between cells
which have been influenced by the treatment and additive effects of
the additional frequencies.
[0099] Of further note is the fact that different patients
suffering from the same type of tumour cell growth practically
invariably exhibit the above-mentioned physiological responses at
the same well defined AM frequencies. Furthermore, AM frequencies
which differ only very slightly (less than 0.0001% at higher
frequencies) from the frequencies listed, in general elicit no
physiological response by subjects exposed to excitation at such
very slightly different frequency. In view of these determinations,
the electronic system of the present invention may be adapted to
screen a subject for physiological responses over a broad range of
frequencies to determine the presence or absence tumour cells and,
if positive, then to note at which defined frequencies
physiological responses are elicited. These frequencies will in
general match with the defined frequencies listed in one or other
of the Examples above or such further examples as may be developed
and hence the nature of the tumour will be known. The electronic
system of the invention is therefore a valuable diagnostic tool for
diagnosing the presence or absence and identities of types of
tumour cell growths or cancers. Furthermore, the electronic system
of the invention is of value for predicting whether a patient will
benefit from the application of a given series of modulation
frequencies. The system therefore possesses a capability of
predicting responses to treatment, thereby enhancing the
possibility to select optimal modes of treatment.
[0100] The sequence of well defined frequencies are preferably
applied sequentially for determined periods of time, e.g. 3 seconds
for each frequency, but several frequencies may also be applied
simultaneously. This means that a cycle of application involving
180 frequencies would take nearly 10 minutes time. Advantageous
effects may however also arise from applying individual well
defined frequencies for differing time periods, e.g. some for 3
seconds, some for 6 seconds, etc. . . . .
[0101] Therapeutic dosages to be applied to a subject suffering
from the presence of tumour cell growth or cancer are determined by
the time of application of the low energy electromagnetic emissions
to the subject and will depend on the nature of the cancer and the
overall condition of the subject. In general, however, greatest
experience has been gained in treating terminally ill subjects
expected to survive no longer than about three months and who have
agreed to discontinue alternative forms of cancer treatments such
as chemo-therapy or radioactive treatment. In these severe cases,
lengthy times of treatment are recommended, e.g. 3 times 1 hour
daily treatment. However, with the development of alternative forms
of application, i.e. other than by means of a mouth probe,
continuous application is possible and is likely to enhance
compliance and the efficacy of the treatment.
[0102] While the invention has been described with specific
embodiments, other alternatives, modifications, and variations will
be apparent to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, it will be
intended to include all such alternatives, modifications, and
variations within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
