Abstract

Hyperthermia is a therapeutic technique against cancer. It necrotizes cancer cells by applying heat at about 43°C, at which the survival rate of cancer cells drastically drops. However, in case of a substantially large tumor, there is a possibility that cancer cells may survive when there is a difference in the temperature between the central part and marginal region. For this condition, high-temperature hyperthermia is proposed as a way to ensure that the malignant tumor is necrotized. In this study, using the soft heating method, which is a kind of inductive heating method, with hybrid heaters, we examined the temperature distributions of hybrid heaters that varies with the configuration of metal rings for the thermosensitive magnetic material.
