Localized hyperthermia light

Heat is one of the most efficient weapons to destroy tumor cells. But to induce a moderate heat of 41-47°C for a short duration (5-10 min) in the body without affecting normal tissue is quite difficult. Some of the commonly used heating sources to induce localized hyperthermia in the body are radiofrequency (RF), microwaves, ultrasound, magnetic field, and light [24].
