  • Patent number: 6690976
    Abstract: A method for treating cancerous or benign conditions of an organ includes the steps of inserting an E-field probe sensor to a depth in the organ tissue, monitoring temperatures of the skin surface adjacent the organ, positioning two or more energy applicators around the organ, setting the initial relative phase delivered to each energy applicator to focus the energy at the E-field probe positioned in the organ tissue, delivering energy to the applicators to selectively irradiate the organ tissue, adjusting the power level to be delivered to each applicator during treatment based on the monitored skin temperatures, monitoring the energy delivered to the applicators, determining total energy delivered to the applicators and displaying the total energy in real time during the treatment, and completing the treatment when the desired total energy dose has been delivered by the energy applicators to the organ. Either focused or non-focused may be employed.
