Publication number: 20240316357Abstract: An alternating magnetic field having a frequency, at which a sufficient antitumor effect can be obtained, is enabled to be applied to a living body for a previously prescribed period of time while restricting an amount of heat generation from the living body. A cancer treatment apparatus includes a magnetic field generator configured to generate an alternating magnetic field to be applied to a living body, and a magnetic field controller configured to increase an intensity of the alternating magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator stepwise until a first period of time elapses since application of the alternating magnetic field to the living body, and to set the intensity of the alternating magnetic field to a previously set maximum value from elapse of the first period of time until a timing to end the application of the alternating magnetic field.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2024Publication date: September 26, 2024Applicants: Ricoh Company, Ltd., Public University Corporation Yokohama City UniversityInventors: Kazuhito KISHI, Takashi YAMAGUCHI, Motokazu HASEGAWA, Masanari UMEMURA, Yoshihiro ISHIKAWA
