Abstract

A minicomputer‐based system was designed to control the microwave (2.45‐GHz) power to four local hyperthermia applicators. Errors in temperature measurement, due to electromagnetic field interactions with small thermocouple probes, are minimized by sampling the temperature only when the microwave power is off. The programmable controller can regulate the temperature in tumors in 0.1 Β°C increments from 30 to 60 Β°C. This technique reduces temperature differences throughout the tumor at steady state to less than 0.4 Β°C and prevents skin burns.

Background Local production of therapeutic proteins, e.g. for cancer treatments, is based on gene therapy approaches and requires tight spatial and temporal control of gene expression. Here we demonstrate the use of local hyperthermia of varying intensity and duration to control the expression of a
