| Popis: |
The possibility of significant antitumor activity associated with hyperthermia was first documented by Busch, who reported the disappearance of a facial sarcoma following high fever in a patient with erysipelas (Busch 1866). In the last decade interest has been rekindled in the clinical application of this modality because numerous reports and comprehensive reviews have indicated that there may be a significant advantage in the use of heat alone, or combined with radiation or cytotoxic drugs, to enhance the killing of tumor cells (Hall 1988; Overgaard 1989). |
