[Hyperthermia in bone and soft tissue tumors].
Local response of hyperthermia for soft tissue and bone tumors was investigated. Ten tumors were superficial tumors and 16 were deep seated tumors; 9 tumors were malignant fibrous histiocytoma, 5 were liposarcoma, 4 were neurogenic and 3 were myogenic sarcoma. The other five tumors were an angiosarcoma, a malignant mesenchymoma, an Ewing's sarcoma, a chordoma and an osteosarcoma. Some 23 tumors were heated in combination with radiation therapy, and 3 were combined with arterial infusion of ADR. Four of 10 superficial tumors disappeared (CR), and, 2 of 10 signified PR. Only one of 16 deep seated tumors showed CR, 3 were PR and 12 showed no response. But 4 of 12 tumors without regression in tumor volume indicated coagulation necrosis owing to histological examinations, and 5 of 12 were regarded as the same response from hypodensity area with CT examination after hyperthermia. Local response rate of of superficial tumors was 60% and that of deep-seated tumors was 81.4%.
