ABSTRACT:
A thermodynamic therapy system including a thermally activated drug delivery system which is provided within the bloodstream of a patient under therapy, and an adaptive phased array radiation transmission system operable for transmitting and focusing radiation to heat a treatment area within the patient. The drug delivery system releases a selected drug at the treatment area in response to the treatment area being heated by the focused radiation.
