PCT No. PCT/IT92/00142 Sec. 371 Date May 3, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date May 3, 1994 PCT Filed Nov. 10, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/09724 PCT Pub. Date May 27, 1993.A flexible three-paths catheter provided with a balloon carries a sealingly sheathed radiofrequency radiating antenna, together with the shielded power supply cable and with some thermocouples, within a plastic lining surrounded by a flow of liquid; a second path carries the power supply cables of some outer thermocouples, flooded by the reverse liquid flow, while the third path allows a fluid to flow through for inflating the balloon. Introduction of the catheter into a hollow organ makes it possible to perform hyperthermal therapy of tumors by means of radiation. |
