This project will provide targeted hyperthermia treatment for liver cancer. The treatment will be non systemic and therefore, unlike radiotherapy and chemotherapy, will cause minimal collateral damage to healthy tissue within the patient. Liver cancer is one of the commoner forms of cancer in humans with estimates of up to 2 million patients per year being affected worldwide. Currently 95% of these patients will die from the condition. This project will lead to improvements in health outcomes for liver cancer patients. As a consequence of the worldwide demand for this treatment, and related equipment, the project will generate foreign exchange earnings through exports and new job opportunities in the clever end of small business enterprise.

本项目将为肝癌提供针对性的热疗治疗。这种治疗将是非全体性的，因此，与放疗和化疗不同，它对患者体内健康组织的附带损害最小。肝癌是人类最常见的癌症之一，据估计，全世界每年有多达200万患者受到影响。目前95%的患者将死于这种疾病。该项目将改善肝癌患者的健康状况。由于全世界对这种治疗和有关设备的需求，该项目将通过出口和在小型企业中创造新的就业机会产生外汇收入。
