| Abstract | "Cancer is considered as a leading cause of death worldwide. Therefore, in recent years, not only new diagnosis methods but also new treatments had been developed. In this book, the new trends such as artificial intelligence, thermal images and bioimpedance to diagnose cancer and novel treatment techniques are discussed. Moreover, the key role of thermal therapy as a new cancer treatment capable to reduce side-effects in patients is settled down. The most relevant topics from the engineering and medical point of view to implement a successful treatment (hyperthermia/ablation) by using radiofrequency (RF), microwaves (MW), ultrasound (US) or nanoparticles (magneto hyperthermia) are addressed"-- Provided by publisher. |
