Understanding the use of heat to destroy tumors is crucial in the fight against cancer. Heat is an indispensable resource in potentially treating cancers, as it can effectively destroy cancerous tumors. However, there are real challenges involved in the total destruction of tumors without damaging healthy tissue surrounding the tumor. A detailed understanding of the propagation of thermal energy, induced heating, and tissue responses to heat is essential to safely and successfully apply heat-based technologies in clinical oncology.
The Application of Heat in Oncology provides this understanding, offering a thorough and comprehensive overview of the principle and practice involved. This essential resource for clinicians, technicians, and others in oncological practice provides both a detailed introduction to the physics and thermodynamics of induced heat and an analysis of its clinical applications.
Furthermore, readers will find valuable guidelines for applying heat both safely and effectively, as well as a detailed discussion of topics such as energy delivery, temperature assessment, damage assessment, image guidance, and more. The book also summarizes current practice and provides suggestions for future areas of technological improvement.
Designed for all clinicians working in the field of cancer treatment, including medical students, residents, researchers, engineers, radiologists, surgeons, and more, The Application of Heat in Oncology is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to advance their knowledge and expertise in this area.
