While WEMF have been used therapeutically for musculoskeletal disorders for decades, their role in oncology is still emerging. WEMFs affect multiple cellular processes through mechanisms such as the radical pair mechanism (RPM), which alters reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, mitochondrial function, and glycolysis, among others.\u003Cbr>This review explores the potential of WEMF in conjunction with reactive oxygen species as a cancer therapy, highlighting WEMFs selective targeting of cancer cells and its non-ionizing nature, which could reduce collateral damage compared to conventional treatments. In addition, synchronization of WEMF with circadian rhythms may further enhance its therapeutic efficacy, as has been demonstrated in other cancer therapies. |\n\n1. Introduction  \nOver the past decades, there has been a significant increase in the incidence of early-onset cancers, particularly those affecting the gastrointestinal tract, breast, testis, kidney, and blood [1–3]. These trends are likely driven by various factors such as diets high in processed foods, sugar, and fat; lifestyle choices like alcohol, tobacco use and sedentary behavior; sleep deprivation; environmental pollutants and endocrine disruptors like bisphenol A, and microplastics. They all were associated to contribute to cancer risk by promoting ROS formation, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Additionally, disruptions to the gut microbiome due to poor diet and excessive antibiotics can further influence cancer susceptibility [4–8].  \nAs the number of early-stage cancers continues to rise, the development of new therapeutic approaches and the optimization of current treatment protocols are mandatory.  \n2. Traditional cancer therapies  \nBesides surgery, the classical therapy forms for aggressive neoplasms  \nare chemotherapies and ionizing radiation. However, all those approaches come with significant side effects and limitations. Chemotherapy, for example, commonly causes nausea, vomiting, hair loss, fatigue, infections, anemia, and bleeding due to its non-selective targeting of rapidly dividing cells, including healthy ones. Long-term risks include secondary cancers, organ damage, and infertility. Similarly, radiation therapy often leads to skin irritation, fatigue and local tissue damage, and it carries the potential for severe long-term complications such as secondary cancers, heart and lung problems, and cognitive decline when applied to the brain [9,10]. A major limitation of these therapies is their inability to differentiate between healthy and cancerous ce","cbCaipvrGqZlPB9n","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipvrGqZlPB9n","pdf",2217777,"English","# Contents lists available at ScienceDirect\n# Introduction\n# Traditional cancer therapies","[{\"question\":\"What lifestyle and environmental factors are associated with increasing early-stage cancer incidence?\",\"answer\":\"The text links higher early-onset cancer incidence to diets high in processed foods, sugar, and fat; sedentary behavior; alcohol and tobacco use; sleep deprivation; environmental pollutants and endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol A; microplastics; and gut microbiome disruption from poor diet and excessive antibiotics.\"},{\"question\":\"What limitations do traditional cancer therapies have?\",\"answer\":\"Chemotherapy and ionizing radiation are described as non-selective, leading to significant side effects such as nausea, hair loss, infections, anemia, bleeding, skin irritation, fatigue, tissue damage, and potential long-term complications including secondary cancers and organ or cognitive problems.\"},{\"question\":\"How might weak electromagnetic fields work together with reactive oxygen species to fight cancer?\",\"answer\":\"WEMF are proposed to influence cellular processes through the radical pair mechanism, altering ROS levels, mitochondrial function, and glycolysis.
