Abstract
Hyperthermia enhances radio-sensitivity of cancer cells when cancer cells are treated with combination of heat and radiation. This chapter describes usefulness of hyperthermia combined with radio-therapy and molecular mechanisms that enable hyperthermia to enhance radio-sensitivity of cancer cells.
