ABSTRACT:
A system for treatment of a target volume of cancerous tissue comprises a probe carrying a microwave antenna positioned in a body cavity proximate the target volume. At least one energy-emitting element is placed in the target volume. The microwave antenna is energized so that energy emitted from the antenna and the energy-emitting element necroses cancerous tissue in the target volume.
