Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a portable radiofrequency (RF) hyperthermia device having flexible applicator treatment electrodes for electric field capacitive coupled energy transfer, the device being useful for increasing the delivery of a systemically delivered drug at a localized target site. The portable RF device is suitable for use by a patient in their own home and the flexible applicator is a flexible, porous, light and easy to manipulate treatment electrode. The inventive device requires no specialist operator to ensure correct usage.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a radiofrequency (RF) hyperthermia device for capacitive coupling comprising a radiofrequency source, an amplifier, a sensor, a feedback amplifier and a modulation signal generator, wherein the radiofrequency source produces a source signal which is modulated by the modulation signal generator, amplified by the amplifier and directed to a target, the sensor receives a feed back signal from the target that is directed to the feed back amplifier, wherein the feedback signal is amplified by the feedback amplifier and modulates the source signal to generate a target modified signal. This radiofrequency (RF) hyperthermia device is designed for increasing the selectivity of the hyperthermia treatment.
