Local Hyperthermia for Treatment of Advanced Prostatic Carcinoma: Preliminary Results
Chapter
Abstract
Since ancient ages, heat administration was used as a therapeutical modality for several indications. Together with the anti-inflammatory, the anti-cancer cytotoxicity seems to represent the main effect of hyperthermia. Following the biologic rationale for using heat in the treatment of cancer, various technical devices were designed for heat administration in cancer patients.
