      That’s actually exactly how chemo works. It microwaves your cells on a molecular level!

      Edit: turns out I confused it with radiation therapy!

          I think they may have been thinking of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_therapy?

            Seeing the edit, yes, but that is also wrong. As the first line of the link says, radiation therapy uses ionizing radiation and not microwaves

            It is possible to use microwaves for treating cancer (see https://www.bmc.org/content/microwave-ablation), but the two aforementioned methods do not use them (with the caveat that both “chemotherapy” and “radiation therapy” are very broad categories)

              I used microwaving as a verb, as in cooking. English can be weird like that but I didn’t mean the literal frequency range. My bad
