Enhanced Microwave Hyperthermia using Nanoparticles
In this dissertation a study of enhanced hyperthermia for cancer treatment through the use of magnetic nanoparticles is presented. Hyperthermia has been in use for many years, as a potential alternative method in cancer treatment, and high frequency microwave radiation has been used successfully to …

Resonance-Based Techniques for Microwave Breast Cancer Applications
… temperature increase resulting in more efficient hyperthermia. In this dissertation, an adaptive microwave concept is demonstrated for breast cancer applications. The general approach is to detect and identify the tumor-specific resonance, determine the electrical location of the tumor, and apply …

Interaction of Nanoparticles with RF, AC, and Static Magnetic Fields in Thermal and Non-Thermal Cancer Therapy Applications
… Thermal therapies such as radio-frequency and microwave hyperthermia and ablation techniques though effective in ablating tumors are non-target specific. The dissertation focus on alternate thermal and non-thermal approaches inducing cancer cell apoptosis by external magnetic fields. …
