International Journal of Hyperthermia

Aims & Scope

The International Journal of Hyperthermia publishes peer reviewed research and clinical studies on thermal energy-based disease treatments.

It is the official journal of the Society for Thermal Medicine, the European Society for Hyperthermic Oncology, and the Japanese Society for Thermal Medicine.

The journal publishes research, perspectives, and letters related to the clinical studies, biological studies, and physics/engineering studies of therapeutic thermal therapies.

The journal covers the following topics: Clinical studies describing whole, regional or local treatment in humans or other animals covering the application of therapeutic thermal energy treatment alone or in combination with other clinical modalities Clinical outcomes on the physiological effects of heat or cold stress Clinical testing of methods related to thermal technologies Biological studies incorporating biochemical, anatomical or physiological studies of a basic or preclinical nature using basic biochemical, cell, animal, or computational models Research covering thermal tolerance, stress or shock, response and injury, immunological and physiological effects, toxicity and drug delivery, gene therapy, nanotechnology and nanomedicine The development of technologies and strategies for energy delivery and control, with an end goal to effect specific biologic responses leading to therapeutic outcomes.
