Abstract
The present invention relates to a radiofrequency (RF) hyperthermia device for personalized treatment and diagnosis using capacitive coupling and without dipole antenna comprising a radiofrequency source, an amplifier, a sensor and a modulation signal input/generator, wherein the radiofrequency source produces a source signal which is modulated by the modulation signal input/generator using the phase information generated by homeostasis of the target to generate a modulated source signal, the modulated source signal is amplified by the amplifier and directed to a target, and the sensor detects the phase information generated by homeostasis of the target to provide a feedback signal, wherein the feedback signal modulates the source signal to generate a personalized modulated signal. This radiofrequency (RF) hyperthermia device is designed for personalized treatment and diagnosis of a target such as a patient or a malignant or tumorous area within a patient.

12. A method for personalized treatment, after-treatment, prophylaxis, prevention of relapse or diagnosis of tumours, cancer, metastases, carcinomas, pain, migraine, or diseases of the central nervous system comprising exposing a target area to an amplified modulated signal from a radiofrequency hyperthermia device,
wherein the amplified modulated signal is obtained from a source signal generated by a radiofrequency source, modulated by a modulation signal and amplified, wherein the modulation signal is generated from a feedback signal by modulating the feedback signal using the phase information of a measured homeostatic signal from the target area in a way that the phase information of a signal generated by homeostasis of the target area is detected at time Tn+1 and compared with a previously obtained phase information at time Tn, wherein the measured homeostatic signal is ECG, EEG, EMG, signal of the membrane ion-channels, or a signal generated starting from the morphology of a tissue of the target area.
