title: [The treatment of laryngeal cancer by using local hyperthermia].
abstract: Potentiation of the effect of radiation and combined treatment of laryngeal cancer by local hyperthermia was studied in 43 patients. In 51 cases of the control group (radiotherapy), conventionally-dynamic fractionation of dose was used. At 32 Gy, complete or partial regression of tumor was observed in 72.1% in the study group and 64.7% of controls. An increased frequency of radiation-induced damage of the oral mucosa was observed whereas radiation epidermitis did not occur. Three-year relapse-free survival following a course of radical thermoradiotherapy was as high as 76.5% compared to 40% in controls. Overall three-year survival (including the results of combined treatment and treatment for relapse) increased from 66.7 to 83.3%.
