Claim:
1. A portable radiofrequency hyperthermia device configured for cancer treatment comprising a flexible applicator treatment electrode for electric field capacitive coupled energy transfer to create an RF current flow through a patient without a fluid cooling system and a radiofrequency amplifier, the device being useful for increasing the delivery of a systemically delivered drug at a local target site, and/or supporting the radiotherapy efficacy in the localized target site by increasing the oxygenization of the tissue and capable of home use by the patient; wherein the radiofrequency amplifier is an E-class radiofrequency amplifier; wherein the flexible applicator treatment electrodes comprise at least one conductive metal electrode material in form of a coating on the surface of a flexible, elastic, or stretchable carrier, wherein the coating is an electroless deposition coating, and wherein the coated flexible, elastic or stretchable carrier is porous and wherein the carrier comprises a plurality of single fibers and the at least one conductive metal electrode material layer is applied all around the single fibers of the carrier; and wherein the local target site is selected from tumor tissue, muscle tissue, or organs, the organs is selected from the group consisting of liver, lung, heart, kidney, spleen, brain, ovary, uterus, prostate, pancreas, larynx, gastrointestinal tract and gynecological tract; and wherein the energy transfer is delivered via a power impulse regime and the power impulse regime is harmonized with a patient heartbeat or is triggered in an amplitude modulated way with patient heart-beat pulses, measured at the site of treatment.
