Abstract The data that have been
obtained by our laboratory and others on the effects of heal alone and in
combination with radiation on cancer provided us with the biological basis
and rationale for initiating clinical studies to evaluate whether
hyperthermia when combined with conventional radiation therapy evokes an
improved tumor control than that achieved with
radiation alone [1,2]. This paper reviews our experience with radiofrequency
(RF) hyperthermia in the treatment of various superficial malignancies. |
