title: [Hyperthermia main techniques (author's transl)].
abstract: Superficial tumours with a small thickness can be correctly heated by various techniques. Some difficulties arise for a uniform heating across tumours several centimeters thick; they are considerably increased for deep located tumours. The possibilities of various methods of diathermy are discussed with consideration of blood flow and controlled surface cooling. A peculiar attention is devoted to conductive methods using electrodes supplied by 1 MHz current generator, and placed in contact (tubes, plates) or inside (needles) the tumour.
