The fundamental aim of an oncological hyperthermia treatment consists in heating the tumour region to a temperature of about 42/43 °C, while keeping the heat in the surrounding healthy tissues in a tolerable range. With the aid of the COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software and the LiveLink™ for MATLAB® module, we reproduced a typical microwave applicator specifically designed for targeted heating of deep-seated head and neck (H&N) tumours, and we analyze how a SAR-based field optimization on the target volume could be implemented for different models of the neck region.
