Studies have shown a positive correlation between the effective temperature maintained inside a cancerous tumor during hyperthermia treatments and the response rate of that tumor to subsequent radiation therapy (see, for example, [1]). In addition, e

Using one-, two-, and three-dimensional numerical simulation models it is shown that multiple minima solutions exist for some inverse hyperthermia temperature estimation problems. This is a new observation that has important implications for all pote
