Abstract
Hyperthermia induced by microwave diathermy raises the temperature of deep tissues from 41 degrees C to 45 degrees C using electromagnetic power. Microwave diathermy is used in the management of superficial tumours with conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy and, recently, its use has been successfully extended to physical medicine and sports traumatology in Central and Southern Europe.
