Thermoradiotherapy and Thermochemotherapy

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Radiat Oncol))

Abstract

Invasive interstitial heating techniques offer a number of advantages over external heating approaches for localizing heat into small tumors at depth. Over the past two decades, nine distinctly different interstitial heating modalities have emerged in response to changes in surgical implant techniques, clinical treatment protocols, and brachytherapy hardware. They consist of: (1) implantable microwave (MW) antennas operating between 0.4 and 2.5 GHz, (2) resistively coupled RF electrodes driven at 0.3-3 MHz for local current field (LCF) heating, (3) capacitively coupled RF electrodes (CC-RF) driven at 8-27 MHz, (4) internal LCF-type electrodes coupled inductively to external 6-to 13-MHz power sources via receiving loop antennas implanted under the skin (IC-RF), (5) 5-to 12-MHz tubular ultrasound (US) radiators, (6) laser illuminated, fiberoptic coupled crystal diffusers (Laser), and three “Hot Source” techniques: (7) hot water tubes (HW), (8) DC voltage driven resistance wires (RW), and (9) inductively coupled, thermoregulating ferromagnetic implants (Ferroseeds).
