A model which is an example of local interstitial microwave hyperthermia is presented. A microwave coaxial-slot antenna placed in the liver tissue is the heat source. Due to the axial symmetry of the model, for simplification a…
We develop a multiphysics-based model to predict the response of localized tumors to combined-hyperthermia-radiotherapy (CHR) treatment. This procedure combines hyperthermia (tumor heating) with standard radiotherapy to improve efficacy of…
Magnetic hyperthermia is a new type of cancer treatment designed for overcoming resistance to chemotherapy during the treatment of solid, inaccessible human tumors. The main challenge of this technology is increasing the local tumoral…
This study focuses attention on interstitial microwave hyperthermia, which is a popular medical procedure for treatment of pathological human tissues containing tumors. In the paper, the 2D finite element analysis is used to compare the…
Hyperthermia therapy (HT) is used to treat diseases through heating of high temperature usually in conjunction with some other medical therapeutics like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In this study, we propose a promising thermostatic…
Heat-based cancer treatment, so-called hyperthermia, can be used to destroy tumour cells directly or to make them more susceptible to chemotherapy or radiation therapy. To apply heat locally, iron oxide nanoparticles are injected into the…
During laser and ultrasound thermotherapy it is always desirable to have a precise necrosis of deeply seated tumor preserving the adjoining healthy tissue with minimum thermally induced nociceptive pain sensation to the patient. The aim of…
Microwave hyperthermia aims at selectively heating cancer cells to a supra-physiological temperature. For non-superficial tumors, this can be achieved by means of an antenna array equipped with a proper cooling system (the water bolus) to…
Radiotherapy can effectively kill malignant cells, but the doses required to cure cancer patients may inflict severe collateral damage to adjacent healthy tissues. Hyperthermia (HT) is a promising option to improve the outcome of radiation…
A holistic simulation framework is established on magnetic hyperthermia modeling to solve the treatment process of tumor, which is surrounded by a healthy tissue block. The interstitial tissue fluid, MNP distribution, temperature profile,…
