Noninvasive Control of Hyperthermia

  • Chapter
Methods of Hyperthermia Control

Part of the book series: Clinical Thermology ((1289))

Abstract

It is now well demonstrated that hyperthermia can constitute an efficient adjuvant to radiotherapy and chemotherapy in cancer treatment. The precondition of successful results is that hyperthermia treatments are carefully controlled according to more or less well-defined clinical protocols stipulating the most efficient treatment sequences. These protocols imply some constraints concerning the temperature distribution tolerances to be satisfied in the heated volumes in order simultaneously to obtain therapeutic efficiency inside tumoral tissues and to avoid any undesirable burning effect in surrounding healthy tissues.
