Abstract
The authors propose to build equipment for hyperthermia which could be utilized together with radiotherapy or chemotherapy in the treatment of mammary gland cancer and dermic carcinoma. The project consists of three parts: the first was the design, development, and construction of the equipment; the second, taking place now, is experimentation with animals and phantoms, the third will be the application of the equipment to oncologic patients. The equipment provides local, RF hyperthermia.<>
