Interstitial Hyperthermia, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1992

This text presents effective and safe techniques in interstitial hyperthermia and gives examples of applications in areas of clinical interest. Interstitial hyperthermia is favoured as a treatment by oncologists because it combines well with other forms of treatment.
