Abstract A system has been developed for
producing local hyperthermia in small animal tumors
by means of an invasive needle microwave antenna. Thermal distributions
produced by this system using 1 GHz microwaves have been characterized in
mammary adenocarcinomas (MTG-B) implanted in thighs
of C3H mice. Therapeutic efficacy by hyperthermia was demonstrated by
comparing MTG-B diameters in mice following control, sham or hyperthermia
treatment. It is proposed that this system could be employed clinically to
provide very local hyperthermia in deep-seated tumors.
