[Local hyperthermia and hyperglycemia in ORL oncology]

Two-year experience of radiotherapy combined with local hyperthermia, hyperglycemia and chemotherapeutic drugs in patients with tumors of the upper respiratory tract showed advantages of this method. The results were compared with those of the control group of patients on radiotherapy only. Three therapeutic schemes were employed. Hyperthermia was performed in 2 temperature regimens. Of chemotherapeutic drugs platidiam, methotrexate, 5-FU and vinblastine were used.
