title: [Local chemo-hyperthermotherapy of recurrent rectal cancer].
abstract: Local radiofrequency hyperthermia combined with chemotherapy was performed on five patients with pelvic recurrence of rectal cancer. Relief of pain was obtained in all four patients with uncontrolled pelvic pain due to recurrent rectal cancer. In some patients, CEA levels of peripheral blood were decreased and tumor necrosis was proved histologically. These results suggest that this combined therapy may be useful for patients with pelvic recurrence of rectal cancer.
