[Methods for creating hyperthermia in tumors by using electromagnetic fields]
Abstract
Evidence on the methods for creation of hyperthermia in treatment of human tumours using superhigh-frequency external, intracavitary, and implanted irradiators are generalized. Inductive, capacitive and interstitial methods of heating are described. Advantages and shortcomings, depths of heating and heat-production structures are presented for each method. The known devices for regional hyperthermia are considered.
