Electronics in medicine: RF therapy for malignancy: Heating of malignant tissues (hyperthermia) by RF radiation presents a new tool in the arsenal of weapons against cancer

Radio frequency radiation has become a promising new weapon against cancer. Medical researchers around the world report that the use of such radiation to heat malignant tissue to the hyperthermic range (42 to 43.5°C) appears to be a safe and efficient means for either destroying the cancer cells or making them more susceptible to other forms of treatment.
