Abstract: A urethral inserted applicator for prostate electromagnetic hyperthermia includes apparatus for holding and positioning at least one electromagnetic energy applicator in a urethral passage extending through a prostate gland. The apparatus includes a multi-passage or multi-tube, balloon type urinary or Foley catheter with fluid-dry passages for insertion of microwave antenna or capacitive electrode type applicators, and an electromagnetic compatible type temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of the prostate tissue. The urinary catheter provides an open fluid receiving tube enabling urine drainage from the bladder and a balloon at the tip region of the catheter for engaging the bladder neck to properly position and hold the apparatus during treatment. An electromagnetic generator supplies electromagnetic energy to the applicators.
