Thermal monitoring: Invasive, minimal-invasive and non-invasive approaches
International Journal of Hyperthermia, 2006 Thermal treatments need verification of effectiveness. Invasive intra-tumoural thermometry was established as a standard method several years ago. However, in deep heating, invasive techniques have disadvantages. Therefore, alternatives have been suggested and are under development.In three phase II studies treating rectal cancer, cervical cancer and ...
