Abstract

Disclosed is apparatus and method for treating prostate tumors. The apparatus includes a platform (11) on which the patient may be seated. An electromagnetic coil (12)is disposed beneath the platform (11) and creates a field that acts on thermoseeds placed in the tumor. The method includes inductively heating the thermoseeds which heat the tumor cells to a temperature of between 45 and 50 ° C.
