HYPERTHERMIA RADIO-BIOLOGICAL RATIONALE
Hyperthermia (HT), heating tumors in the range 41-43°C, is a powerful radio and chemosensitizer. The effectiveness of HT as well as its safety, in combination with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, has already been proven in phase III clinical trials [1, 2] particularly in patients with very large or very advanced stages of cancer and recurrent tumors. HT enhances the effect of radiotherapy on the tumor, without additional toxicity for healthy tissues, thanks to of three synergistic mechanisms
ULTRAFAST ELECTRONIC PHASE TARGET COLLIMATOR
The ALBA 4D system has a RADAR-based technology unit consisting of a multi-beam phased array of 4 waveguide antennas working at 70 MHz radiating 4 beams independently modulated in phase and amplitude to focus the energy onto the target at any depth and location in the pelvis, abdomen and extremities
