Abstract
The use of hyperthermia as anti-cancer treatment in combination with other therapies assumes every day a growing interest. In this paper the main characteristics of a microwave system and an applicator for hyperthermia treatment of small in-vivo melanoma tumours are described. The results of temperature measurements on mice, show the possibility to design a protocol for hyperthermia treatment of small animal with superficial tumours for the evaluation of hyperthermia effects.
