Use of Local Hyperthermia for the Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

  • Chapter
Consensus on Hyperthermia for the 1990s

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 267))

Abstract

Local hyperthermia (LH) combined with radiation therapy (RT) has been used for the last 3 decades for the treatment of a variety of human tumors (1–6). To-date, most of the reports in oncologic hyperthermia (HT) deal with results obtained from treatments encompassing variations in tumors, tumor site, protocol of treatment and HT equipment. The normally advanced stage of the disease on admittance to LH permits only short follow-up periods and no long term response information is available.
