Abstract :
Hyperthermia is one of the modalities for cancer treatment, utilizing the difference of thermal sensitivity between tumor and normal tissue. The authors have developed a coaxial-slot antenna for microwave hyperthermia. In this paper, calculated results of temperature distributions around the coaxial-slot antenna for the treatment of brain tumor and bile duct carcinoma are described
