Electromagnetic Deep Heating Technology

  • Chapter
Thermoradiotherapy and Thermochemotherapy

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Radiat Oncol))

Abstract

Deep heating represents an attempt to achieve effective temperatures in and around large extended tumors of the pelvis and abdomen. The term regional hyperthermia is used for heat treatments of such extensive volumes. It is important to realize that tumor lesions considered for regional hyperthermia are typically nonresectable, i.e., they infiltrate surrounding tissues, are not clearly delimited, and are adherent to neighboring tissues and organs such as bone and bladder wall. Consequently, an effective heat treatment should generously cover a larger volume (known as the biological or clinical target volume in radiotherapy) containing a macroscopic tumor and tumor boundaries as well as parts of the suspicious vicinity. The target volume can also include different types of tissues, e.g., tumor, infiltrated fatty tissue, and infiltrated bone. Typical depths of tumors (absorption lengths) as derived from human cross-sections are in the range of 10-15 cm. Disagreement persists as to whether electromagnetic radiation is suitable for heating deep-seated tumors. Several issues will be discussed in this chapter.
