Claim 19:
20. A method for treating cancer cells in a target body area of a patient by modifying a cancer microenvironment (TME) using a system comprising an alternating polarity (AP) magnetic field generator, one or more AP electromagnetic coils coupled to the AP magnetic field generator and adapted to receive an electrical signal to generate an AP magnetic field, and a controller, the method comprising:
coupling the one or more AP electromagnetic coils to the target body area;
using the alternating polarity (AP) magnetic field generator to provide an electrical signal to cause the one or more AP electromagnetic coils to generate an AP magnetic field having a first frequency of 0.1-500 kHz and a first field strength of 0.2-5 mT;
using the controller to control the AP magnetic field generator, the one or more AP electromagnetic coils, and at least one of the first frequency and the first field strength;
wherein the AP magnetic field is adapted to modify the cancer microenvironment (TME) by modulating immune cell signaling molecules proximate to the cancer cells.
