ASurvey of Methods, Equipment and Problems CFranconi 647 Subject Index 653 IX FOREWORD In the 1960s a firm rationale was developed for using raised temperatures to treat malignant disease and there has been a continuous expansion of the field ever since. However, a major limitation exists in our ability to heat human tumours, especially those sited deep in the body, with a reasonable degree of temperature uniformity. This problem has resulted in engineers and physicists collaborating closely with biologists and clinicians towards the common goal of developing and testing the clinical potential of this exciting treatment modality. The aim of the physicist and engineer is to develop acceptible methods of heating tumQur masses in as many sites as possible to therapeutic temperatures avoiding excessive heating of normal structures and, at the same time, obtaining the temperature distribution throughout the heated volume. The problem is magnified by both the theoretical and technical limitations of heating methods and devices. Moreover, the modelling of external deposition of energy in tissue and knowledge of tissue perfusion are ill-defined. To this must be added the conceptual difficulty of defining a thermal dose. The NATO course was designed to provide a basis for the integration of physics and technology relevant to the development of hyperthermia. There were 48 lectures covering the theoretical and practical aspects of system design and assessment, including, as far as possible, all the techniques of current interest and importance in the field. The fundamental concepts of the relevant biology and physiology were included and some of the clinical findings and problems were summarised. There were 11 panel discussions on selected topics, each summarised in the text by a raporteur. In this volume the whole Course is represented in the 29 lecturers' chapters together with the raporteurs' reports. The School was made possible by a substantial grant from the Scientific Affairs Division of NATO and we are also grateful for support from the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, to ENEA and to the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste. The ASI was held in the beautiful city of Urbino and we thank the University of Urbino and the ERSU for making it possible together with the excellent organisation of the Collegio. We express our appreciation to the Scientific Advisory Committee, J Bach Andersen, T Cetas, J WHand, J Oleson, J Overgaard and H Reinhold for advice on the programme and to all lecturers who together represent a substantial majority of those who have made significant contributions to this field during the last two decades. We are indebted to C A Tiberio and Giovanna Franconi for much of the organisation of the Course, greatly helped by Germana Banci, Luisa Begnozzi, Matilde Nardi, Luigi Raganella and Laila Wilby. Finally, we thank our participants, who came from 26 nations, for their questions and contributions which made this ASI stimUlating and successful.
