The usage of heating power as a healing system has been well-known for long time. A completely new motivation, however, came up when heat treating was recognized as a new and promising form of cancer therapy. It was found that cancer growth was stopped at temperature higher than about 42 C. It created new subject of research in the area of application of electromagnetic fields in medicine. In the paper the two main methods of heating have been described and two kinds of devices have been presented. Some advantages and drawbacks of the methods are discussed.
