Hyperthermia in the Treatment of Intraocular Tumors, in Particular Retinoblastoma

  • Chapter
Radiotherapy of Intraocular and Orbital Tumors

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Radiat Oncol))

Abstract

The possibility of significant antitumor activity associated with hyperthermia was first documented by Busch, who reported the disappearance of a facial sarcoma following high fever in a patient with erysipelas (Busch 1866). In the last decade interest has been rekindled in the clinical application of this modality because numerous reports and comprehensive reviews have indicated that there may be a significant advantage in the use of heat alone, or combined with radiation or cytotoxic drugs, to enhance the killing of tumor cells (Hall 1988; Overgaard 1989).
