Cells that are in the process division are vulnerable to damage by AC electric fields that have specific frequency and field strength characteristics. The selective disruption of rapidly dividing cells can therefore be accomplished by imposing an AC electric field in a target region for extended periods of time. Some of the cells that divide while the field is applied will be damaged, but the cells that do not divide will not be harmed. This selectively damages or disrupts rapidly dividing cells like parasites, but does not harm normal cells that are not dividing.

Des cellules qui sont en processus de division sont vulnérables à un endommagement par des champs électriques alternatifs qui ont des caractéristiques spécifiques de fréquence et d'intensité de champ. La désintégration sélective de cellules en division rapide peut donc être accomplie par imposition d'un champ électrique alternatif dans une région cible pendant des périodes de temps étendues. Certaines des cellules qui se divisent pendant que le champ est appliqué seront endommagées, mais les cellules qui ne se divisent pas ne seront pas lésées. Cela endommage ou désintègre sélectivement des cellules en division rapide telles que des parasites, mais ne lèse pas des cellules normales qui ne se divisent pas.
