Heat transfer-based medical treatment systems, methods, and devices

A tumor treatment device comprising:

• a body portion having a top surface and a bottom surface;
• a cooling probe array with a probe geometry design such that a plurality of cooling probes extend at least partly from the bottom surface;
• and
• an injection delivery system operable to provide an injectable substance through the body portion to a target area.

A tumor treatment system comprising:

• a body portion of a tumor treatment device having a top surface and a bottom surface;
• a cooling probe array of the tumor treatment device having a probe geometry design such that a plurality of cooling probes extend at least partly from the bottom surface, the cooling probe array being operable to cool a target area of a patient;
• and
• an injection delivery system operable to provide an injectable substance through the body portion.

A method of tumor treatment, the method comprising:

• positioning a body portion of a tumor treatment device on an external surface of a patient;
• inserting a plurality of cooling probes of a cooling probe array into the patient at a target area, the target area being below the external surface of the patient, and the plurality of cooling probes having a probe geometry design such that the plurality of cooling probes extend at least partly from a bottom surface of the body portion of the tumor treatment device;
• and
• treating a region near a tumor of the patient using the tumor treatment device by cooling the target area with the plurality of cooling probes.

A tumor treatment device comprising:

• a body portion having a top surface and a bottom surface, the body portion including:
• a water block layer;
• and
• a Peltier array disposed adjacent to the water block layer;
• and
• a cooling probe array with a probe geometry design such that a plurality of cooling probes extend at least partly from the bottom surface.

A tumor treatment system comprising:

• a body portion of a tumor treatment device having a top surface and a bottom surface;
• cooling portion of the top surface in fluid communication with a water block;
• and
• a cooling probe array of the tumor treatment device having a probe geometry design such that a plurality of cooling probes extend at least partly from a bottom surface of the body portion, the probe geometry design being operable to cool a target area of a patient, and the probe geometry design including at least one of:
• a core-and-spoke arrangement;
• a splayed arrangement;
• a multi-platform arrangement;
• or
• a removable structural support.
