  • Abstract
    The frequency dependence of the dielectric permittivity and the loss peak in the microwaves area, of a substance with high dielectric constant such as recinoleic acid oil, are the key parameters that can lead to overheating of the tumor by microwave radiation. The radiation at a specific high absorption frequency of the dielectric substance injected in the tumor, causes the cancerous cell necrosis without damage to healthy cells.
