Flexible microwave antenna applicator for chemothermotherapy of the breast

In this study, a flexible microwave antenna applicator is presented for mild microwave hyperthermia. The antennas used in this study are designed for high dielectric medium-like skin and tested using tissue mimicking gels that mimic the dielectrical properties of the human breast. After the initial antenna design the applicator is fabricated embvedding the antennas in PDMS. Finaly, we have tested the applicator using masimu of 5W input power. The experiments sugges that the proposed applicator provides a considerable heating up to 4cm depth with 5W at 450 MHz.
