In the last decade the use of interstitial microwave antennas to
deliver localized and controlled power to deep-seated tumours has
been explored in institutes around the world. Simultaneously the
field of brachytherapy also progressed as clinicans began to
develop new implantation approaches for a variety of tumour sites,
thereby promoting the insertion of catheters which could serve as
conduits for the insterstitial microwave applicators. Although the
challenges presented by deep-seated tumours have not been solved,
the developments in the field of brachytherapy and the implantation
of interstitial applicators for hyperthermia are such that a volume
dedicated to this approach is warranted. This third volume in the
series "Hyperthermia and Oncology" provides insight in and updated
information on various aspects of interstitial hyperthermia. It
aims to serve as a guide for clinicians who are either already
working in the field or who wish to implement this treatment. It
also provides basic aspects to physicists and biologists who are
interested in the field of hyperthermic treatment.
