Interstitial Hyperthermia: A Comprehensive Guide for Clinicians and Researchers

Over the past decade, the medical community has witnessed significant advancements in the use of interstitial microwave antennas to deliver targeted and controlled power to deep-seated tumors. This breakthrough has been explored by research institutes worldwide, aiming to overcome the challenges posed by deep-seated tumors.

Simultaneously, the field of brachytherapy has made remarkable progress, with clinicians developing innovative implantation approaches for various tumor sites. This has led to the creation of catheters that can serve as conduits for interstitial microwave applicators, further enhancing the treatment of deep-seated tumors.

Despite the progress made, the challenges posed by deep-seated tumors remain a significant concern. However, the advancements in brachytherapy and the implantation of interstitial applicators for hyperthermia warrant a comprehensive volume dedicated to this approach.

This third volume in the “Hyperthermia and Oncology” series provides in-depth insights and updated information on various aspects of interstitial hyperthermia. It serves as a valuable guide for clinicians already working in the field or those looking to implement this treatment. Additionally, it offers essential information on the basic aspects of hyperthermic treatment for physicists and biologists interested in the field.
