In hyperthermia, it has been required to develop a microwave heating system which can heat locally on a superficial tumor and a little-deep seated tumor. For this purpose, the authers have developed a microwave heating system (HTS-100) which can heat a little-deep seated tumor with a lens applicator. This system consists of five parts, a microwave power unit, a surface cooling unit, a temperature measurement unit, a control unit and an arm structure for an applicator. Furthermore it has been a compact and very useful system with considered important points as reliability, safety and easy operation in clinical use. It is also equipped all functions desired in microwave hyperthermia therapy, so that it will work well in clinical use not only for animal experiments.
