  Magnetic fields interact with biological cells affecting them in variety of
ways which are usually hard to predict. Among them, it was observed that strong
fields can align dividing cells in a preferred direction. It was also
demonstrated that dividing cancer cells are effectively destroyed by applying
electric fields in vivo with a success rate dependent on the cell-to-field
orientation. Based on these facts, the present note aims to suggest the use of
magnetic and electric fields for improved cancer treatment. Several
possibilities of generating the electric fields inside the magnetic field
volume are reviewed, main tentative approaches are described and discussed.
Most if not all of them require special magnet configuration research which can
be based on existing magnet systems in operation or in development.
