This project will provide targeted hyperthermia treatment for liver cancer. The treatment will be non systemic and therefore, unlike radiotherapy and chemotherapy, will cause minimal collateral damage to healthy tissue within the patient. Liver cancer is one of the commoner forms of cancer in humans with estimates of up to 2 million patients per year being affected worldwide. Currently 95% of these patients will die from the condition. This project will lead to improvements in health outcomes for liver cancer patients. As a consequence of the worldwide demand for this treatment, and related equipment, the project will generate foreign exchange earnings through exports and new job opportunities in the clever end of small business enterprise.

该项目将为肝癌提供有针对性的高温治疗。该治疗将是非全身性的，因此，与放射疗法和化疗不同，将对患者内健康组织造成最小的附带损害。肝癌是人类中较常见的癌症形式之一，估计每年受到全世界影响高达200万名患者。目前，这些患者中有95％将死于这种情况。该项目将改善肝癌患者的健康状况。由于全球对这种治疗的需求以及相关设备，该项目将通过出口和新的工作机会在小型企业企业的巧妙结束时产生外汇收入。
