The therapeutic application of heat is very effective in cancer treatment. Both hyperthermia,
ie, heating to 39–45° C to induce sensitization to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and …

Microwave ablation uses dielectric hysteresis to produce direct volume heating of tissue.
Microwaves are capable of propagating through many tissue types, even those with high …

Cryoablation refers to all methods of destroying tissue by freezing. Cryoablation causes
cellular damage, death, and necrosis of tissues by direct mechanisms, which cause cold …

Microwave (MW) ablation has emerged as a minimally invasive therapeutic modality and is
in clinical use for treatment of unresectable tumors and cardiac arrhythmias …

Clinical use of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) under ultrasound or MR guidance
as a non-invasive method for treating tumors is rapidly increasing. Tens of thousands of …

Thermal tissue ablation is an interventional procedure increasingly being used for treatment
of diverse medical conditions. Microwave ablation is emerging as an attractive modality for …

We quantified the electric permittivity of single bacterial cells at microwave frequencies and
nanoscale spatial resolution by means of near-field scanning microwave microscopy. To this …

Ablative treatment methods have emerged as safe and effective therapies for patients with
primary and secondary liver tumors who are not surgical candidates at the time of diagnosis …

Tumor ablation is a minimally invasive technique used to deliver chemical, thermal,
electrical, or ultrasonic damage to a specific focal tumor in an attempt to achieve substantial …

Microwave ablation (MWA) is a minimally invasive technique increasingly used for thermal
therapy of liver tumors. Effective MWA requires efficient interstitial antennas that destroy …
