Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thermal therapy is becoming more and more important in clinical applications as it plays significant role in achieving personalized and precise treatment of human diseases by taking advantages of efficient thermal effects with high safety and low complications. This Special Issue of Bioengineering, entitled “Advances in thermal therapy”, aims to explore new techniques and new findings in thermal therapy or treatments greatly enhanced by thermal energy.
The topics of interest of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Clinical findings of tumor thermal treatment or thermally enhanced treatments;
- New findings on thermally enhanced treatments in chemotherapy, radiotherapy, gene therapy, immune therapy, etc.;
- New techniques for more accurate delivery of thermal energy.
