[Combined treatment of patients with osteogenic sarcoma using local UHF-hyperthermia]

The authors present their results of combined treatment of 85 patients with osteogenic sarcoma. The results are analysed according to the method of treatment in 3 groups of the patients who had been administered different total focus doses acting on the tumour. Besides chemical and radial therapy and surgical treatment local UHF-hyperthermia was used as a modifier in the complex of therapeutic measures. It has been demonstrated that the use of local UHF-hyperthermia does not increase the risk of metastatic spreading, allows to reduce the radiation dose and by influencing the primary tumour contributes to better treatment results.
