<br/><br/> Hyperthermia cancer therapy is used in conjunction with chemotherapy and radiotherapy , since the cytotoxic effect of anti - tumor drugs is enhanced and the cell killing ability of ionizing radiation is potentiated by hyperthermiaFor brain tumors , the antennas used for heating are implantable interstitial antennas , usually some forms of dipole antennas fed from a coaxial lineThe specific absorption rate (SAR) distribution in the brain due to the near field of the antennas is required to be localized and uniform within the tumor , weak outside the tumor
