ABSTRACT:
A heating apparatus for hyperthermia utilizes electromagnetic waves for locally heating cancerous cells within a living body. When it is necessary for a plurality of patients to be subjected to hyperthermia treatment at the same time and in parallel with each other, the control of a plurality of electromagnetic wave outputs and the control of cooling of the surface of a heated region are effected by a centralized control which employs time-division multiplexing. Thus, it is advantageously possible to efficiently carry out a hyperthermia treatment which is fitting for the condition of each of a plurality of patients.
