Transient microwave induced neurosensory reactions during superficial XXXX treatment.

@entity1 @entity5 @entity51 @entity1274 @entity221
A pattern of @entity1274 has emerged in 10 of the 200 @entity1 treated with ionizing external beam radiation and 915 MHz microwave induced @entity221 for superficial @entity5 . @entity1 report various sensations in parts of the body which not only are far removed from the treated area, but also are not generated through pathways in the treated areas. The most common sensation was a numbness and tingling in the ipsilateral arm when the chest was being treated. In each case, the applicator was at least three aperture widths from the axilla; the angle with the axilla was approximately 90 degrees, and the applicator was angled from 90-180 degrees to the affected arm. In each case, the sensation was only appreciated when the microwave energy was present. There was no correlation of sensation with level of power application. The sensation would saturate at power densities far below those used to achieve therapeutic heating. One @entity1 reported such a severe "burning" sensation in the arm at the lowest measurable power from the generator that further treatment was discontinued. Only one @entity1 had a demonstrable @entity51 . These effects were @entity1 specific and repeated from treatment to treatment in at least two-thirds of the treatment sessions. Sensitive @entity1 were sporadically distributed throughout the @entity1 population.
