[Observations of the incidence of metastases form forestomach carcinoma following fractioned laser hyperthermia].
In order to evaluate the effect of local tumor hyperthermia on the incidence of distant metastases, transplantable forestomach carcinomas in 615-strain mice were treated by YAG laser hyperthermia in two trials. The results showed that the increased incidences of metastases following treatment at heating conditions of 41 degrees C/10 min, 41 degrees C/20 min, 45 degrees C/10 min and 45 degrees C/20 min were not statistically significant. Tumor growth inhibition laser hyperthermia at 45 degrees C/20 min was more effective than that under other heating conditions.
