ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is described for heating tissue and which is particularly useful for treating tumors in humans and animals. A radio frequency a-c electric current is caused to flow between two electrodes or one electrode and ground directly through both the tumor and the surrounding tissue. The current is controlled to cause heating of the tumor and the surrounding tissue such that the tumor heats to a level sufficient to cause necrosis without substantial damage to the surrounding tissue.
