The Application of Heat in Oncology

THE APPLICATION OF HEAT IN ONCOLOGY
Understand the use of heat to destroy tumors with this comprehensive guide
Heat is an indispensable resource in the destruction of cancerous tumors to potentially treat cancers. There are also real challenges, however, involved in the total destruction of tumors without destroying healthy tissue surrounding the tumor in the process. A detailed understanding of the propagation of thermal energy, induced heating, and tissue responses to heat is required to safely and successfully apply heat-based technologies in clinical oncology.
The Application of Heat in Oncology
supplies this understanding, with a thorough, comprehensive overview of the principle and practice involved. Offering both a detailed introduction to the physics and thermodynamics of induced heat and an analysis of its clinical applications, this is an essential resource for clinicians, technicians, and others in oncological practice.
The Application of Heat in Oncology
readers will also find:
Guidelines for applying heat both safely and effectively
Detailed discussion of topics including energy delivery (e.g., via RF, MW, ultrasound, laser, cryoagents, hyperthermia, nanoparticles, etc.), temperature assessment, damage assessment, image guidance, and more
Summary of current practice along with suggestions for future areas of technological improvement
The Application of Heat in Oncology
is ideal for all clinicians working in the field of cancer treatment, including medical students, residents, researchers, engineers, radiologists, surgeons, and more.
