Claim 0:
1. A method of stimulating a localized immune response, said method comprising:
administering a therapeutically effective amount or dose of microwave energy to tissue of a subject in which a localized immune response is to be stimulated, wherein the administering the therapeutically effective amount or dose of microwave energy to the tissue comprises:
measuring or receiving a dielectric constant of tissue;
identifying that the tissue has a condition associated with HPV or an HPV infection based on the measured or received dielectric constant of the tissue;
using a delivery system to administer the therapeutically effective amount or dose of microwave energy via a microwave applicator to the tissue of the subject; and repeatedly applying, by the microwave applicator, the microwave energy
in a pulsed manner thus providing repeated rounds of localized hyperthermia and repeated localized stimulation of the immune response to the tissue,
wherein the tissue has a lesion, and wherein the administering of the therapeutically effective amount or dose of microwave energy to the tissue comprises electrically matching the microwave applicator to the tissue, based on the tissue having a lower dielectric constant than a dielectric constant that said tissue would have if said tissue did not have said lesion, such that the microwave applicator is better matched to the tissue that has said lesion than the microwave applicator would have been if said tissue did not have said lesion.
