title: Centred radio-frequency hyperthermia in solid tumours.
abstract: After some notions on the mechanisms of action of radio-waves on solid tumours, the treatise illustrates the results achieved in the first 125 cases of malignant tumours treated with this method, its results are definitely encouraging, even in cases apparently with no hope. It also describes briefly the histologic modifications induced by this therapeutic method on neoplastic masses and discusses the criteria of the directions of thermotherapy, alone or combined, which is obviously the fifth weapon against tumours.
