It is interesting to note that it has only been since 1979 that heating tissue for control of cancer has become widely used in oncology clinics, hospitals, and cancer research centers. Yet, the first use of electric-field heating for control of cancer occurred only four decades after Volta, in 1800, described the electric pile . This application’ of electric current for destroying cancer through heat was demonstrated by Recamier and Pravaz in the destruction of uterine cancer.
