[Thermoradiotherapy of cancer of the endometrium]

The paper is concerned with the consideration of technical potentialities of local UHF-hyperthermia with regard to combined radiotherapy of endometrial cancer. The authors performed comparative analysis of thermoradiotherapy of a tumor and adjacent normal tissues and of combined radiotherapy as an independent method. The results of this investigation have shown that a decrease in a single focal dose per fraction, taking into account the DMF of hyperthermia in thermoradiotherapy, the same therapeutic effect on a tumor being preserved like in radiotherapy, reduces the frequency of radiation reactions of adjacent normal organs and tissues.
