Hyperthermia is a promising approach to improve of the chemo- and the radiotherapy efficiency by means of increasing tumor’s temperature. Hyperthermia is an additional method to conventional treatments of oncological disease wherein tumor temperature is increased up to 40…43°C. The phased array of applicators for electromagnetic hyperthermia was suggested earlier. The heating is provided by absorption of electromagnetic energy focused in tumor by varying phases and amplitudes of each of dipoles. Operating frequency plays the significant role in specific absorption rate (SAR) distribution forming. The phased array antenna is under consideration. Principles of choosing of operating frequency are discussed. Numerical estimates of heat localization depending on the radiation area are presented. Also simulation results with voxel model are considered.
