Study Type		In Vivo
Model		2450 MHz (CW) exposure to mice and analysis of tumor progression
Details		CFW mice (pregnant dams) were exposed to 2450 MHz (CW) MW for 20 min/day at an SAR or 35 W/kg during gestation days 11-14. Sixteen days after birth, mice were implanted with a lymphoreticular cell sarcoma. On day 19, mice were again exposed for 36 days as above. Fetal exposure resulted in retarded tumor growth, although the final tumor incidence at 4 months was approximately the same as the sham exposed group. Both MW exposed tumor-bearing and tumor-free animals lived longer, and the authors speculate that this might be the result of augmentation of immunocompetency.
