title: [Treatment of recurrent neuroblastoma in childhood with whole body thermochemotherapy].
abstract: More than 30% of the children suffering from an advanced solid tumour disease or tumour recurrence cannot be cured despite intensive oncological treatment. A new possible therapy is the application of whole-body hyperthermia in childhood in combination with chemotherapy and radiation treatment. The fundamental principles and the method of the whole-body thermochemotherapy are briefly explained. The treatment of one patient with a neuroblastoma recurrence is reported as a clinical example for the effectiveness of whole-body thermochemotherapy in childhood and the course of therapy is discussed.
