Abstract :
A method of combining hyperthermia with electrochemical treatment for cancer is presented. Experimental animals with cancer were treated by three methods which were RF hyperthermia (RFH), electrochemical treatment (ECT) and combined RF hyperthermia with electrochemical treatment (RHCET). The results showed that RHCET was successful for killing the tumor and making a 70-80% reduction in time of treatment
