Abstract
A cancer treatment by ultra-short pulse high electric field is one of new biological applications. This work focuses on the design of a compact high power nanosecond pulsed electromagnetic wave generator for the cancer treatment. We have been developing a burst pulse generator for turning cancer treatment by ultra-short pulsed electric field into a realty. In this study, we have shown that applying the burst pulses to the cancer cells is more effective than applying single pulses to the cancer cells under the same conditions.
