Near-Field Focusing Phased Array for Hyperthermia Application
A conventional hyperthermia applicator is an electrically small antenna which produces a divergent beam. In this thesis, we propose a focused applicator made of phased arrays. The advantages of an array applicator are (i) smaller input power and less surface heating for achieving the same field …

Investigation Of Temperature Dependent Magnetic Hyperthermia In Fe3o4 Ferrofluids
… for imaging, targeted drug delivery and magnetic hyperthermia. Magnetic hyperthermia (MHT), the production of heat using ferrofluids, colloidal suspensions of MNPs, in an external AC magnetic field (amplitude, 100-500 Oe and frequency 50 kHz -1MHz), has been explored by many researchers, both in …

Methods to Investigate Hyperthermia Induced By Tumor Treating Fields
… research. There is not much research done on the hyperthermia induced by tumor treating fields. It’s still not known whether heat also plays a role in inhibiting cancer growth and killing cancer cells. Our hypothesis is that the TTF’s at 150 kHz frequency induce hyperthermia in pancreatic cancer …

Enhancing Cisplatin Delivery and Anti-tumor Efficacy Using Hyperthermia
<p>Mild hyperthermia (39°C-43°C) has numerous therapeutic benefits as an adjuvant therapy in the treatment of a variety of tumor types. Hyperthermia increases tumor blood flow and vascular permeability, promoting drug delivery and tumor oxygenation. Hyperthermia enhances the uptake and efficacy of …
