This study aims to create a laboratory unit for induction heating and assess how possible it is to use local induction heating in solving problems related to biotechnology and medicine. This article contains a description of a method for non-contact local hyperthermal heating of biological tissues using inductive electromagnetic radiation. The method is based on the introduction of a composite material consisting of a polymer base and incorporated ferromagnetic particles into living tissues.

There are many ways to heat a tumor and the optimum approach depends on the treatment site. This study investigates a composite ferromagnetic surgical implant inserted in a tumor bed for the delivery of local HT.

The aim of the work was to evaluate the effectiveness of the radiosurgery method in the treatment of malignant tumors of the larynx. The treatment of 48 patients was carried out using the "Rocus-AM" device. The larynx was irradiated 5 times a week, with a single focal dose of 2.

Synergism is dramatically enhanced if HT and RT are combined simultaneously, but appropriate technology to apply treatments together does not exist. This study investigates the feasibility of delivering HT with RT to a 5-10mm annular rim of at-risk tissue around a tumor resection cavity using a temporary thermobrachytherapy (TBT) balloon implant.
