Abstract
A brassiere is configured to administer electromagnetic therapy to treat a cancerous tumor within a breast. The brassiere includes at least one cup, the cup within its walls at least two magnetic coils (also referred to herein as solenoid coils). Each solenoid coil is energized, when in therapeutic operation, with a distinct time-domain signal. The time domain signal consists of a series of summed sinusoidal waves from a power supply. The coils are oriented within the wall of the cup such that for any two coils a first magnetic coil and a second magnetic coil are oriented relative to each other so as to be nonparallel. The purpose of having two distinct coils is to focus resultant magnetic fields such that at a tumor site within a volume of breast tissue the cup encloses to form a local maximum formed by superposition within the cancerous tumor.
