ABSTRACT
Induced hyperthermia has used for long as a successful clinical treatment, particularly in oncology, within different scenarios.With the joint advances of medicine and technological sciences, the heating processes have achieved higher levels of control regarding specificity. This way, coming from the classical 'hot baths' whole body hyperthermia, we have nowadays moved to very precise regional and local hyperthermia protocols. This field is being continuously improved, pushed by different active research lines.
