[Clinical trial of cancer therapy by radiation combined with hyperthermia]

A clinical trial of radiation therapy combined with hyperthermia for various superficial tumors was performed. For the local hyperthermia, heating modalities with microwave, radiofrequency and ultrasound can be used. Some are still insufficient for clinical application in terms of tumor size and site; there fore, for ther studies through a phase II study are necessary to determine a future direction of hyperthermia in clinical case.
