Abstract

The clinical studies done on superficial depth malignancies during the last two decades have highlighted the promise of hyperthermia as an effectively adjuvant treatment modality (Kapp and Kapp 1993), as well as the need to improve the ability of heating devices to treat effectively the anatomically diverse diseased tissue sites encountered in clinical practice.
