Local hyperthermia using microwave rectal probes offers a safe and effective treatment for prostate cancer. This new approach shows promising results in controlling malignancy and relieving symptoms in patients.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Medical Physics
  • Therapeutic Technologies

Background:

  • Hyperthermia enhances cancer treatment efficacy, particularly with radiotherapy.
  • Prostate cancer treatment often requires localized and minimally invasive approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel microwave-based rectal probe for localized prostate hyperthermia.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of this new hyperthermia modality.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a new machine for local hyperthermia (41-44°C) using 915 MHz microwaves.
  • Treatment delivery via a rectal probe on an outpatient basis without anesthesia or sedation.

Main Results:

  • Successful treatment in 44 cases with no reported complications.
