The Combination of Hyperthermia and Radiation: Clinical Investigations

  • Chapter
Book cover Hyperthermia and the Therapy of Malignant Tumors

Part of the book series: Recent Results in Cancer Research ((RECENTCANCER,volume 104))

Abstract

Heat has been used through the ages as a therapeutic agent. Hippocrates (470–377 B. C.) stated that a patient who could not be cured by heat was actually incurable. He adapted the bathing customs of the Egyptians to ancient Greece and induced hyperthermia in patients suffering from paralysis. The Japanese of the seventeenth century performed hyperthermia by balneotherapy. They treated syphilis, arthritis, and gout by using hot water at temperatures between 45° and 53° C. Thus the body temperature was elevated to at least 39° C (Giles 1938).
