N2 - Clinical hyperthermia (i.e., heating of tumor tissue to 40–43 °C) is used in clinical oncology to enhance the therapeutic effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Most recurrent breast cancer and melanoma lesions reach up to a few cm deep and can be effectively treated with currently available superficial hyperthermia devices using infrared or microwave radiation. Effective heating of more challenging and complex semi-superficial or semi-deep tumor lesions, including intact breast or lesions near silicone implants, requires dedicated treatment protocols. Herein, new treatment protocols are presented, which combine simultaneous and consecutive use of different wIRA, microwave, and radiofrequency hyperthermia devices. Examples are included, showing the clinical setup, applicator choice, and invasive and noninvasive thermometry.
