Claim 16:
17. A system for treating cancer cells in a target body area of a patient by modifying a cancer microenvironment (TME), comprising:
an alternating polarity (AP) magnetic field generator adapted to provide an electrical signal to cause an AP magnetic field to be generated;
one or more AP electromagnetic coils coupled to the AP magnetic field generator and adapted to be coupled to the target body area, wherein the one or more AP electromagnetic coils are adapted to receive the electrical signal from the AP magnetic field generator 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;
a controller for controlling 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.
