Abstract

In past few years Hyperthermia has become a very popular customary clinical procedure to treat Cancer. It uses the heat to deteriorate the cancerous tissue by irradiation of energy by using electromagnetic applicators. This paper outlines the effect of heat in microwave applications. The best treatment for retained tumors by using Hyperthermia, involve giant surface areas which may physically adapt to body contours, and regionally alter their power deposition patterns to regulate the non-uniform temperature caused by tissue in homogeneities and blood flow variations. The cancer killing ability is shown in the treatment done by combining both radiations and chemotherapy by the expert biologists in both vitro and in vivo. Biologists found that its tough to boost and to stay the temperature of tumors at therapeutic levels. This paper explains the methodology to treat the cancer in both ways i.e. conventionally and recent one.
