A New Hyperthermia Scheme with a Cylindrical LHM Lens

Flat left-handed metamaterial (LHM) lens has shown great potentials for superficial tumor hyperthermia. However, in clinic, superficial tumors usually occur in cylindrical tissue. For such superficial tumors, cylindrical LHM lens could be more comfortable. In this paper, we proposed a new hyperthermia scheme with a cylindrical LHM lens. And by numerical simulations, it is proved that it is feasible and profitable to using this scheme to treat superficial tumors.
