[Thermoradiotherapy as a component of desmoid tumor management: 10-year experience].
Data on radio- and thermoradiotherapy of 83 patients with extra-abdominal desmoid tumors are discussed. In a group of 57 patients followed up for 10 years or less, the relapse-free survival rates, in thermoradiotherapy-treated cases, were significantly higher (74.4% and 28.6%) than in those receiving radiotherapy (9.3% and 57.1%). Monitoring tumor temperature during local hyperthermia is a factor of relapse-free survival of vital importance.
