title: [Effectiveness of preoperative radio-chemo-thermotherapy with respect to thermometry in locally advanced rectal carcinoma].
abstract: Additional hyperthermia is able to intensify the effect of radio-chemotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer. The datas represents favourable locally effect, if the necessary parameters of thermometry are achieved. We could demonstrate a correlation between temperatures and downstaging of the primary tumor. Consequently, aim of further developments is to optimize hyperthermia technology.
