ResumoAbstract Female DBA/2 mice at 8 weeks of age were implanted with P388 leukemia cells in groups of ten mice and exposed to a 60‐Hz 1.4‐μT, 200‐μT, or 500‐μT magnetic field 2‐3 hours after the implant for 6 hours daily, 5 days/week until all the exposed P388‐treated and nontreated mice died. Parallel exposed groups of non‐P388‐treated mice and P388‐treated mice exposed at 0 μT were included for study. No statistically significant differences (P > .05) in survival, spleen weight, or body weight resulted between P388‐treated or nontreated mice from exposure to the magnetic field. No effect on the incidence or progression of P388 leukemia was apparent.
