    Nowadays hyperthermia is one of the possible cancer treatment method used in combination with classical therapies in several countries in the world. In this article we described the designed and optimization of a microstrip type applicator for the treatment of superficial diseases. The optimization was made in order to obtain a more uniform SAR distribution, which is one of the requirements to achieve a good thermotherapy treatment.
