Abstract
Hyperthermia is a cancer therapy utilizing the difference in heat transfer characteristics between the tumor and normal tissue. In many cases, preferential heating of the tumor takes place because the perfusion rate is less in the tumor tissue relative to the normal tissue. This therapy has the advantage of fewer side effects during and after the treatment compared with other currently used cancer therapies. Hyperthermia can be used not only by itself and also in conjunction with other cancer therapies, such as chemo-therapy (Haranaka et al., 1987), x-irradiation (George et al., 1989; Fujiwara, et al., 1990), or both (Howard and Bleehen, 1988), to enhance tumor eradication or regression.
