Hyperthermia and the therapy of malignant tumors

OSTI ID:6325597
Recent biological research with cells in vitro and experimental tumors shows that hyperthermia has an important role to play in cancer therapy. Hyperthermia induces a number of physiological and biological changes whereby damage is higher in the tumor than in the normal tissue. Used in conjunction with radio- or chemotherapy, it could therefore be a potent modality for tumor management. The first clinical data on the application of hyperthermia plus radio- and chemotherapy support these expectations, despite a number of technical problems regarding heat application and measurement of heat temperature distribution in the tissues.
