Overview Hyperthermia (also known as thermotherapy) is generally regarded as a mean body temperature higher than normal. High body temperature is often caused by illness, such as fever or heat stroke. Hyperthermia, the procedure of raising the temperature of tumour-loaded tissue to 40–43°C, is applied as an adjunctive therapy with various established cancer treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Methods
Slide 6-

Local hyperthermia Superficial tumours can be heated by means of antennas or applicators emitting mostly microwaves or radiowaves placed on their surfaces with a contacting medium. Several types of applicators have been used clinically, such as waveguide applicators, horn, spiral, current sheet, and compact applicators (The electromagnetic coupling of the applicator to the tissue is ensured by a water bolus (preceding water path)). Local hyperthermia has become a recognized and quite widespread adjuvant method of chemotherapy and / or radiation treatment of resistant tumors.
Slide 7-

Bolus: often used to improve the coupling between the applicator and the patient. Application of bolus has the following advantages: Smooth Transmission from Applicators into Tissue Skin Cooling to avoid surface Heating Maintenance of the Body Surface at a Fixed Distance from the Applicator … Local hyperthermia
Slide 8-

Deep-seated tumours—eg, of the pelvis or abdomen—can be heated by arrays of antennas. The Sigma-60 applicator is a widely spread applicator, which consists of four dipole antenna pairs arranged in a ring around the patient. Planning systems describe correctly to some extent the power-density and temperature distribution depending on various treatment variables. Even though each antenna pair can be controlled in phase and amplitude, there are restrictions in terms of the generated SAR distribution. Regional and part-body hyperthermia

Slide 10-

Whole-body hyperthermia Whole body hyperthermia is applied to treat metastatic tumor that has spread throughout the body. A steady state of 42 °C is maintained for 1 h along with the acceptable adverse effects. With the help of sedation of general anesthesia, the procedure would be possible.

Side Effects Side effects of local hyperthermia is that it might lead to pain at the target site, bleeding, blood clots, infection, swelling, burns, blistering, and also cause damage to skin, nerves and muscles around the treated area. Side effects of regional and whole-body hyperthermia are that it could lead to nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In severe cases (rarely) it leads to problems associated with heart, blood vessels, and other major organs. => But improved technology, experience, and better skills led to fewer side effects.

External heating techniques for delivery of localized hyperthermia
Slide 14-

Heat-producing Modalities EM and ultrasound beams follow the general laws of waves as they propagate through the body
Slide 15-

EM Heat can be generated in tissue by different kinds of interaction between EM fields and biological systems. One such way is by rotating polar molecules; the friction associated with the rotation of the atoms and molecules causes heat generation when time-varying EM fields are applied. EM Techniques
Slide 16-

For hyperthermia, the EM generators that are commercially available operate at the ISM band frequencies of 13.56, 27.12, 40.68, 915, and 2450 MHz. A frequency of 433 MHz is also authorized in Europe. For hyperthermia, the power range also varies normally within the range of 10 to 500 Watts for a single applicator at microwave frequencies (915 and 2450 MHz) Standard
Slide 17-

EM Techniques How can we choose range of Frequency ? Where E- The magnitude of electric field (V/m), and σ- the conductivity (S/m) . P is the same as the specific absorption rate
Slide 18-

Advantages Not required (Due to the presence of air within and in the vicinity of areas such as the lungs, stomach, bowel, bladder, rectum, and pelvis, the use of EM technique is suggested for cancer therapy in these region) EM energy is not hindered by bones. The preferred approach for brain tissue heating is microwave with single or multiple external beams. Microwave radiation can penetrate deeply into low-water-containing tissue, like fat, and since the breast is composed largely of fat, deep penetration for cancer therapy is possible. Large volumes can be heated with multiple applicators or phase-array microwave Disadvantages: Potential hazards for the EM technique in hydrate tissues or in tissues close The fat near the fat-muscle interface may overheat due to large reflections. Depth of dose is limited to a few cm by using a single applicator, particularly with microwaves. EM Techniques
