چکیده

Hyperthermia is one of the modalities for cancer treatment, utilizing the difference of thermal sensitivity between tumor and normal tissue. Interstitial microwave hyperthermia is one of the heating schemes and it is applied to a localized tumor. In the treatments, heating pattern control around antennas are important, especially for the treatment in and around critical organs. This paper introduces a coaxial-dipole antenna, which is one of the thin microwave antennas and can generate a controllable heating pattern. Moreover, generations of an arbitrary shape heating patterns by an array applicator composed of four coaxial-dipole antennas are described. key words: hyperthermia, microwave heating, internal heating, controllable heating pattern, array applicator

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common malignant tumors to affect the liver. Microwave ablation is efficiently used for treatment of liver cancer. Although surgical resection remains the gold standard for treatment of liver cancer, but only 5-10% patients are the candidates for surgical resection due to numbers of limitations. Because most patients with HCC can not be treated with su...
