Millions of patients die of cancer every year. There are several methods to treat cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. Recently, hyperthermia therapy started playing a role in cancer therapy. It has shown effect in animal experiments and clinical practice. The sponsor has developed a novel device to use hyperthermia for advanced cancer. This study is to prove the safety in human patients of this device \& therapy and get the first data on efficacy.
