Abstract
A heater made of temperature-sensitive amorphous metal flakes with a length of 100~800 μm is proposed. The calorific power of the heaters is calculated, making some simplifying assumptions. The analysis shows the conditions that must be satisfied when the amorphous flakes are used for heating. A balloon filled with the flakes can be used, or the shape of the heater can be tailored to suit the form of the malignant tumor to be heated. No temperature monitoring is needed
