Hyperthermia treatment is nowadays recognized as the fourth additional cancer therapy technique following surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation; it is a minimally or non-invasive technique which involves fewer complications, a shorter hospital stay, and fewer costs. In this paper, pulsating heat effects on heat transfer in a tumor tissue under hyperthermia are analyzed. The objective of the paper is to find and quantify the advantages of pulsatile heat protocols under different periodical heating schemes and for different tissue morphologies.

Abstract
Hyperthermia treatment is nowadays recognized as the fourth additional cancer therapy technique following surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation; it is a minimally or non-invasive technique which involves fewer complications, a shorter hospital stay, and fewer costs. In this paper, pulsating heat effects on heat transfer in a tumor tissue under hyperthermia are analyzed. The objective of the paper is to find and quantify the advantages of pulsatile heat protocols under different periodical heating schemes and for different tissue morphologies.File in questo prodotto:
