Minimally Invasive Thermal Therapy for Cancer Treatment by Using Thin Coaxial Antennas

Abstract

In recent years, various types of applications of electromagnetic techniques for microwave thermal therapy have been developed. Among them, minimally invasive microwave thermal therapies for cancer are of great interest. They are interstitial microwave hyperthermia and microwave coagulation therapy. In this paper, we describe the characteristics of thin coaxial antennas for those therapies.
