Abstract

Hyperthermia (HT) in the range of 42°–45 °C has been under intensive study, particularly during the two past decades, as a treatment for malignant neoplasms. HT has found its greatest applicability as a potentiating adjuvant to radiation and chemotherapy with a selective effect against certain tumor cell subpopulations (Dickson and Calderwood 1980).
