Localised Hyperthermia Therapies
Research group
The primary objective of the group is scientific production and technological innovation in the field of the application of high-frequency current to generate heat in biological tissues, aimed at local cell destruction that is minimally invasive for tissue pathologies, especially (but not exclusively) of human neoplasms.
