“…Microwave treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is based on the basic principles behind microwave balloon angioplasty discussed above. It has been a welcomed procedure in urology [561], [562], [563]. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is also called prostate gland enlargement which is common for senior men.…”

“…The principle of cell death by heat, the comparison to other thermal treatment techniques, and efficacies are discussed in [568]. Clinical studies suggest that TUMT is a safe and effective treatment option for BPH [561], [569]. A helical coil antenna used in a TUMT at 915 MHz delivered 45-W power and produced heat to maintain a temperature of 60 °C at the prostate [570], [571].…”

Advances and updates in medical applications utilizing microwave techniques and technologies are reviewed in this paper. The article aims to provide an overview of enablers for microwave medical applications and their recent progress. The emphasis focuses on the applications of microwaves, in the following order, for 1) signal and data communication for implants and wearables through the human body, 2) electromagnetic energy transfer through tissues, 3) noninvasive, remote or in situ physical and biochemical sensing, and 4) therapeutic purposes by changing tissue properties with controlled thermal effects. For signal and data communication and wireless power transfer, implant and wearable applications are discussed in the categories of pacemakers, endoscopic capsules, brain interfaces, intraocular, cardiac and intracranial pressure sensors, neurostimulators, endoluminal implants, artificial retina, smart lenses, and cochlear implants. For noninvasive sensing, remote vital sign radar, biological cell probing, magnetic resonance and microwave imaging, biochemical, blood glucose, hydration and biomarker sensing applications are introduced. For therapeutic uses, the developments of microwave ablation, balloon angioplasty, and hyperthermia applications are reviewed. The scopes of this article mainly concentrate on the research and development efforts in the past 20 years. Recent review articles on specific topics are cited with accomplishment highlights and trends deliberated. At the end of this article, a brief history of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) Biological Effects and Medical Applications committee and the contributions by its members to the promotion and advancement of microwave technologies in medical fields are chronicled.
