Interstitial Hyperthermia: A Comprehensive Guide for Clinicians and Researchers

In recent years, the use of interstitial microwave antennas to deliver localized and controlled power to deep-seated tumors has gained significant attention worldwide. Concurrently, advancements in brachytherapy have enabled clinicians to develop innovative implantation approaches for various tumor sites, facilitating the insertion of catheters that can serve as conduits for interstitial microwave applicators.

Despite the persisting challenges posed by deep-seated tumors, the progress made in brachytherapy and interstitial applicator implantation for hyperthermia warrants a dedicated volume on this approach. This third installment in the “Hyperthermia and Oncology” series provides invaluable insights and updates on various aspects of interstitial hyperthermia.

Aims and Objectives

This comprehensive guide is designed to serve as a resource for clinicians who are already working in the field of hyperthermia or those looking to implement this treatment in their practice. It also provides essential information on the basic aspects of hyperthermic treatment for physicists and biologists interested in this field.

With its focus on interstitial hyperthermia, this book is an essential read for oncologists, radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and researchers seeking to stay updated on the latest advancements in this field.
