It was the beginning of the 1980s when a young engineer from the Department of Electromagnetic Fields developed the necessary technical equipment for the treatment of cancer patients using so-called microwave hyperthermia. To date, more than 1500 patients have undergone treatment with this method in the Czech Republic, many of whom have saved their lives and improved their quality of life. Read the interview with Prof. Jan Vrba, who has been working at Faculty of Electrical Engineering of Czech Technical University since 1972, devoting most of his professional life to the effects of microwave radiation on the human body. Prof. Vrba's research has been continued by several of his former PhD students and also by his two sons.
