Integrated Lens Microstrip-Slot Applicator for Breast Hyperthermia Procedure

Hyperthermia is an alternative procedure for cancer treatment. It has potential either used alone or adjuvant with other conventional procedures such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy to enhance the capability of chemotherapy drugs and the radiation intensity, respectively. However, since the success...
