[Combination of hyperthermia and radiation in cancer therapy (author's transl)].
Twenty-six patients who had tumors known to be refractory to conventional treatment modalities were treated with 2450 MHz microwave hyperthermia in combination with radiation. Twenty-two out of the 26 patients were treated with external hyperthermia. Twelve out of the 22 patients (54.5%) experienced complete regression and 6 patients (27.3%) partial regression. Four patients who had tumors in the oral cavity and vagina were treated with internal coaxial applicators especially developed for intracavitary hyperthermia. One patient experienced complete regression and 3 patients partial regression.
