Faculty of Engineering, Osaka City University, Japan.

The effects of the blood perfusion rate on the optimization of heating conditions in radio-frequency capacitive hyperthermia were examined using numerical simulations. When the blood perfusion rate in the tumor was smaller than approximately one-half that of normal tissues, optimal selective heating of the tumor was obtained.
