Thatβs actually exactly how chemo works. It microwaves your cells on a molecular level!
Edit: turns out I confused it with 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 βchemotherapyβ and βradiation therapyβ are very broad categories)
