Abstrakt: The cerebral BT4An glioma model in BD IX rats was used to study the effect of hyperthermia given in combination with radiotherapy (thermoradiotherapy) in the treatment of brain tumours. A single treatment with high dose rate radiation was given to a local brain field. Local brain hyperthermia was given at 42.4° C for 45 min by externally applied microwaves (700 MHz), immediately before radiotherapy (10 Gy).
