Abstract: A hyperthermia treatment device comprises paired multiple feed inductor rings positioned between two capacitor plates, for producing a tuned radiofrequency electromagnetic field. The spatial orientation of the elements and/or the phase of the current flowing through them is variable. Change in the spatial orientation and phase of the inductor rings produce asymmetric magnetic field patterns resulting in the development of asymmetric eddy current patterns orthogonal to the magnetic lines of force. The eddy current patterns are further focused by spatial orientation and phase adjustment of the capacitor plates. A movable grounding point is utilized to further focus induced eddy currents. The device is capable of producing focal hyperthermia at depth to heat specific volumes.

Abstract: The assembly, through a plurality of shunts, allows blood circulation from the lower part of a patient's body and from the intestines to flow unimpeded to the heart, while isolating hepatic venous blood containing toxic agents from the general circulation and returning it to a heart-lung machine. As a result, the assembly can be used to perfuse the liver, of a patient which has become involved with cancer, with extremely high does of cancericidal chemotherapy agents, while at the same time avoiding the toxic effects of these agents on the patient's body as a whole.
