A member asked:
Is microwave therapy for enlarged prostate safe for 79 yrs old multiple myeloma patient who undergoes carfilzomib chemo treatment?

Many Many Variables: Safe is a relative term & always in the eyes of the beholder. Microwave is just electromagnetic radiation (below infra-red, above radio in frequency) & a method of heating water (as in a microwave oven). If cells get hot enough, proteins are denatured (as in cooking), no longer function, cells damaged/die. So this is just a way of targeting tissue. Key: how applied, controlled & collateral damage.

It's safe and less : Strain on your body than radiation treatment. Take care!
