Abstract
This book is expected to serve as a source of the latest information on hyperthermia, a type of treatment that utilizes various heating methods, such as electromagnetic therapy, to increase temperature in cells and tissues, which is thought to result in an antitumor effect. The contributors range from basic researchers to clinical specialists, each of whom presents the most recent observations in their respective field. The information contained herein should provide medical staff with useful information in relation to cancer treatment.
