Microwave hyperthermia represses human papillomavirus oncoprotein activity and induces cell death due to cell stress in 3D tissue models of anogenital precancers and cancers

The novel treatment of children with viral warts using microwave technology

“…5 Microwave hyperthermia of HPV-infected cervical cells has been shown in vitro to inhibit cell proliferation and promote natural apoptosis of infected cells providing evidence for the mechanism of action in the treatment of viral warts. 8 Limitations of our study include retrospective study design and lack of head-to-head comparisons. This study is among the first to report successful utility of microwave therapy for recalcitrant warts in a paediatric population who had failed other treatment modalities.…”
