Clinical Policy Title: Hyperthermia therapy for cancer

ABOUT THIS POLICY: Select Health of South Carolina has developed clinical policies to assist with making coverage determinations. Select Health of South Carolina’s clinical policies are based on guidelines from established industry sources, such as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), state regulatory agencies, the American Medical Association (AMA), medical specialty professiona...

Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia for Cancer Therapy

The aim of the paper is to show basic ideas of magnetic fluid hyperthermia treatment with regard to power losses which occur during heating with alternating magnetic field. A special attention has been paid to dielectric, hysteresis and relaxation mechanism losses and their contribution to total power losses. A numerical analysis has been done with regard to a simplified female breast phantom a...

Equipment for local hyperthermia therapy of cancer.

Technology for local heat therapy of cancer is evolving rapidly at a number of technologically diverse and geographically scattered institutions and companies. No single technology is superior to others in all applications, and no single company, laboratory, or research group has all the answers. An ideal system would provide focused heating at depth in a predictable fashion, with little probab...

Magnetic Gel Composites for Hyperthermia Cancer Therapy

Hyperthermia therapy is a medical treatment based on the exposition of body tissue to slightly higher temperatures than physiological (i.e., between 41 and 46 °C) to damage and kill cancer cells or to make them more susceptible to the effects of radiation and anti-cancer drugs. Among several methods suitable for heating tumor areas, magnetic hyperthermia involves the introduction of magnetic mi...
