Bone cancer has a prevalence in young population. Unfortunately, it presents a low level of morbidity but a very high level of mortality. Most common treatments for bone tumors are surgery (amputation), radiotherapy and chemotherapy. These treatments present side effects, which affects patients' life quality. Thermotherapy is a new friendlier alternative to treat this kind of tumors. Specifically,...
This paper presents a model and the validation of microwave radiation into the surrounding breast tissues, these patterns are obtained by applying ablation therapy.
Electroporation consists in an electropermeabilization of the cell membrane as a consequence of its exposure to an external electric field. Electrochemotherapy is an application of electroporation and represents a minimally invasive technique which is pretended to be applied in breast cancer treatment. The distribution of the electric field in tumoral tissue was obtained by simulation using finite...
In this paper a series of designs of micro coaxial antennas for MWA therapy to be used for the treatment of breast cancer tumors coupled to both breast and tumoral tissue is presented. The designs were modeled and optimized using Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation to ensure the minimal SWR possible value and obtain several parameters of interest such as the antenna's radiation patterns, temperature...
In the field of ultrasound transducers to generate frozen rings waves generated a tendency for use in biomedical applications. This paper proposes simulate through Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation of a transducer with 10 rings to find patterns of acoustic field and get a model attached to the real transducer designed by Castellanos et al [3]. This work focuses on obtained results of acoustic...
An early detection of small breast lesions by mammography screening may facilitate the cancer treatment by minimally or noninvasive techniques. Recently, new therapies than traditional surgery have been explored to satisfy these demands. Additionally ablative treatments have started to become viable alternative methods to treat patients who cannot be treated by surgery. Microwave energy is promising...
