Specifically, the bolus 300 is composed of a disk-shaped bottom plate 311 and a cylindrical side plate 312 extending upward along the edge of the bottom plate 311, And an annular flange part 320 bent outward from the upper end of the side plate 312 and having a plurality of insertion holes 321 formed on the upper side thereof. Since the bottom plate 310, which is the bottom surface of the bolus 300, is provided in a disc shape and can be adhered to the annular portion A in a wide area, it can be treated by covering the annular portion having a large area, The therapeutic effect is improved.

Here, the bolus 300 is assembled to the handpiece body 100 through the lower coupling plate 500. Specifically, an annular upper engagement groove 110 is formed on the bottom surface of the handpiece body 100 and is engaged with an upper end of the flange portion 320 along an edge thereof. In the upper engagement groove 110, A plurality of through holes 111 are formed at positions corresponding to the injection holes 320. A through hole 510 through which the cover 310 passes is formed at the center of the lower coupling plate 500 and a lower coupling groove 520 in which a lower end of the flange 320 is fitted is formed on an upper surface thereof. And a plurality of fastening holes 521 are formed in the bottom surface of the lower engaging groove 520 at positions corresponding to the through holes 111.

On the other side of the upper surface of the handpiece body 100, It is preferable that an outlet 130 through which the cooling water C in the russ 130 is discharged is formed. That is, after the cooling water C is introduced into the inlet 120 through the pump not shown, the cooling water C in the bolus 300 flows out through the outlet 130, (C) is circulated. Here, the cooling water (C) preferably includes an antifreeze solution having a very low freezing point.

The electrode unit 400 is coupled to a lower surface of the handpiece body 100 and installed inside the bolus 300. 6, the electrode unit 400 is disposed between the bolus 300 and the lower electrode unit 600 provided below the annulus A, and the high frequency generating unit 410 The high-frequency current generated in the antenna portion A is applied to the affected portion A. That is, a ring portion A is disposed between the bolus 300 and the lower electrode portion 600, a high-frequency current is applied to the ring portion A, and the electrode portion 400 and the lower electrode portion 600 are energized . Meanwhile, the electrode unit 400 may be an anode, and the lower electrode unit 600 may be a cathode. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the electrode unit 400 and the lower electrode unit 600 may be a cathode and an anode, respectively.

The high frequency current generated by the high frequency generating unit 410 and applied through the electrode unit 400 is preferably 13.56 MHz. The high frequency current is generated between the charged electrode unit and the lower electrode units 400 and 600 (A) of the human body located at the center of the body. Here, when the high-frequency current flows through the human body, a part where metabolism is active, that is, a part where ionized ion (sodium ion, calcium ion, etc.) is large, is excellent in electric conductivity and current flows intensively. For example, the high-frequency current flows along the extracellular fluid surrounding the cell membrane of each cancer cell having the ionized ion. At this time, the cancer cells are naturally destroyed and become necrotic when they reach a temperature of 38.5 ~ 42.0 degrees Celsius, unlike normal cells due to high frequency current. Therefore, even if the energy is concentrated on the affected part such as the cancer tissue, the patient can be automatically treated along the lesion tissue without the need of positioning using CT or MRI during the treatment. In addition, the therapeutic effect can be enhanced even when the anti-cancer drug and radiation therapy are concurrently performed. In the case where the anti-cancer drug and radiation treatment are difficult, it is possible to show the cancer treatment effect by only the thermal treatment, and by improving the pain caused by cancer, The amount of usage can be reduced.

An engaging hole 140 is formed at the center of the handpiece body 100 and an annular engaging step 141 is formed at a lower end of the engaging hole 140.

Furthermore, it is preferable that the present invention further comprises a structure capable of further cooling the upper surface of the electrode unit 400. An annular cooling water inflow groove 151 is formed in the bottom of the handpiece body 100 so that when the electrode unit 400 is coupled to the bottom surface of the handpiece body 100, And an annular cooling water circulation path 150 in which the cooling water C is circulated upward is formed. An annular first and second fitting grooves 410 and 420 are formed on the upper surface of the electrode unit 400 so as to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance and have a sealing ring R inserted therein. The sealing ring R coupled to the first and second fitting grooves 410 and 420 is brought into close contact with the bottom surface 100 of the handpiece body so that the cooling water flowing in the cooling water inflow groove 151, It is preferable to seal the inside and the outside of the casing.

An inlet 160 for supplying the cooling water C to the cooling water inflow groove 151 is formed on one side of the upper surface of the handpiece body 100 and a cooling water inflow groove The cooling water C injected into the inlet 160 is circulated through the cooling water circulation path 150 and then discharged through the outlet 170. In this case, desirable. Accordingly, the present invention can primarily cool the electrode unit 400 through the cooling water circulating in the bolus 300, and can cool the electrode unit 400 through the cooling water circulating the cooling water circulation path 150 The electrode unit 400 can be cooled secondarily, and the cooling efficiency of the electrode unit 400 is remarkably improved.

Furthermore, it is preferable that the thermoelectric device 700 further comprises a thermoelectric element 700 attached to the upper surface of the electrode unit 400 and accommodated in the cooling water inflow groove 151 of the handpiece body 100.

In the present invention, a Peltier element which causes a Peltier effect is used as the thermoelectric element. The Peltier effect is a phenomenon in which, when two types of metal ends are connected and a current is caused to flow therebetween, one terminal absorbs heat and the other terminal generates heat in accordance with the current direction. If a semiconductor such as bismuth (Bi), tellurium (Te) or the like having different electric conduction methods is used in place of the two kinds of metals, a Peltier element having a high heat absorbing and exothermic effect can be obtained. This allows the endothermic and exothermic switching depending on the current direction, and the heat absorption amount and the heat generation amount can be adjusted according to the amount of current. In the present invention, when the temperature of the electrode part rises to a predetermined temperature or higher by using a Peltier element as a thermoelectric element, the temperature of the electrode part 400 is controlled by cooling the electrode part.

7, a ceramic pad 800 may be provided between the electrode unit 400 and the thermoelectric element 700. [ Here, the ceramic pad 800 is made of an insulating material, so that the RF generated from the electrode unit 400 is cut off to prevent malfunction of the thermoelectric device 700 and damage to the thermoelectric device 700 made of a semiconductor .

The water jacket 900 is connected to the water jacket 900, The pump 920 is preferably circulated. Therefore, since the thermoelectric element 700 is enclosed by the water jacket 900, the heat absorbed by the thermoelectric element 700 is discharged through the heat exchange with the water jacket 900 to cool the thermoelectric element 700.

In the handpiece for a high-frequency thermal therapy apparatus according to the present invention, the patient first lies comfortably on the treatment table of the apparatus, aligns two active electrodes 400 and 600 on the tumor site (0), and starts treatment. At this time, a high frequency of 13.56 MHz passes through the tumor and generates heat. Therefore, cancer cells selectively induce tumor-sensitive temperature of 42 degrees Celsius only in cancer tissues using a non-invasive energy control method using a particularly sensitive 13.56 MHz high frequency to directly induce tumor necrosis or suicide, The immune system can be activated. Therefore, the present invention is also effective for deep cancer such as pancreatic cancer, and cancer can be expected to have a higher thermal effect (i.e., therapeutic effect) by emitting radiofrequency from both sides, centering on cancer tissue,
