Application of Electromagnetic Waves in Cancer Treatment by Hyperthermia ()
Abstract
Hyperthermia
is a treatment mechanism by which cancer cells can be damaged. In this mode of
treatment, electromagnetic fields are used for increasing the temperature of
malignant tissues at sufficiently high level for destroying them. In this
paper, major problems of hyperthermia and some proposed solutions are
presented.
