Microwave (MW) hyperthermia inhibits growth in different cell lines. (A-D) NSCLC cells (1×10⁴/well) were seeded in a 96-well plate and were exposed to the water bath or MW hyperthermia for different periods of time. Following incubation for 6, 12 or 24 h, cell viability was determined by CCK-8 assay. (E) Primary astrocytes (1×10⁴/well) and human normal lung epithelial cells, BEAS-2B cells (1×10⁴/well) were seeded in a 96-well plate and exposed to MW hyperthermia for 60 or 90 min. Following incubation for 24 h, cell viability was determined by CCK-8 assay. Data are expressed as the means ± SEM of 3 independent experiments. ^*P<0.05 vs. the control group, ^**P<0.01 vs. the control group, ^***P<0.01 vs. the control group.
