[Technological progress in hyperthermia].
In the early stage of hyperthermia, a large number of physical and engineering efforts have been done in the development or the improvement of the heating techniques. As matters stand, they were not always satisfied clinically. Thus even in this moment, clinical techniques of hyperthermia should be build up rapidly. This paper describes some of the highlights of ongoing physical researches to develop the clinical hyperthermia and to identify a trend of emerging physical systems available on hyperthermia.
