癌症治疗有多种不同的方法，包括手术、放射治疗、化疗、基因治疗、免疫治疗、消融和热疗。利用肿瘤区域温度升高的技术通常称为热疗法。在本文中，我们将重点关注热疗，这是利用肿瘤和正常组织之间热敏感性差异的有前途的癌症治疗方法之一。此外，微波能量是用于局部热疗的加热源。根据目标肿瘤的位置和大小，可以选择几种类型的天线，将微波能量辐射到目标。本文描述了两种可使用微波能量的加热方案，并对所涉及的基本工程进行了简要说明。此外，还描述了用于评估天线性能的方法。
There are several different ways for cancer treatment including operation, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, gene therapy, immunotherapy, ablation and hyperthermia. Techniques utilizing temperature elevation over the tumor region are usually called as thermal therapies. In this paper, we will focus on hyperthermia which is one of the promising cancer treatments utilizing the difference of thermal sensitivity between the tumor and normal tissue. In addition, microwave energy is a heating source used for localized hyperthermia. Depending on the position and size of the target tumor, several types of antennas, which radiate microwave energy to the target, can be selected. This paper describes two types of heating schemes which can be used with microwave energy, and provides brief explanations of the basic engineering involved. In addition, methods used for evaluations of antenna performance are described.
