    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Medical Physics
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Localized hyperthermia is an evolving cancer treatment modality.
    • Various techniques have been developed to apply heat to tumors.
    • Effective heating of deeper tumors remains a significant challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and categorize current localized hyperthermia techniques.
    • To discuss the applicability of different methods based on tumor depth.
    • To highlight challenges and promising avenues for deeper tumor treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Infrared radiation for very superficial tumors.
    • Radiative diathermy (high and low frequencies) for superficial tumors.
    • Capacitive diathermy and ultrasound for deeper tumors.
    • Extracorporeal perfusion and interstitial hyperthermia for specific applications.

    Main Results:

    • Very superficial tumors are treatable with infrared, high-frequency radiative diathermy, or contact methods.
    • Superficial tumors (few cm deep) can be heated using lower-frequency radiative diathermy, inductive diathermy, or ultrasound.
    • Deeper tumors (approx. 10 cm) are challenging, with capacitive diathermy and multi-transducer ultrasound showing potential.
    • Hyperthermic perfusion and interstitial methods are effective but have limited indications.

    Conclusions:

    • Localized hyperthermia offers diverse treatment options depending on tumor location and depth.
    • Advancements in capacitive diathermy and ultrasound are crucial for treating deeper malignancies.
    • While promising, specialized techniques like perfusion and interstitial hyperthermia have specific, limited clinical roles.
