Abstract
Recent years have seen a developing interest in the use of hyperthermia, usually combined with radiotherapy or chemotherapy, in the treatment of some cancer patients. Experience has shown that induction of hyperthermia in patients in a predictable and sufficiently uniform manner is, in general, a major technical problem. One approach which has been investigated is to implant the sources of heat within the tumour and some surrounding normal tissue in ways analogous to techniques used in brachytherapy. This approach circumvents some of the problems encountered with most non-invasive methods such as limited penetration and excessive heating of intervening normal tissues (Gautherie, 1990). Interstitial methods are aften applicable to deep seated as well as superficial tumours.
