Summary of Recent Clinical Experience in Whole-Body Hyperthermia Combined with Chemotherapy

  • Conference paper
Application of Hyperthermia in the Treatment of Cancer

Part of the book series: Recent Results in Cancer Research ((RECENTCANCER,volume 107))

Abstract

The rationale for clinical application of whole-body thermochemotherapy is based on preclinical data suggesting the possibility of thermal enhancement of selectivity of the cytotoxic action of anticancer drugs (Honess 1983; Neumann et al. 1985b).
