Beschreibung
The use of hyperthermia in radiation oncology is well established. Many publications cover the whole field of possibilities and problems of this therapeutic modality. The new development of interstitial and intracavitary hyperthermia, however, is not well known: there are only a few relevant publications in different journals. Therefore, it was appropriate that SAUER and SEEGENSCHMIEDT organized an international meeting on this topic, where experiences with this new and promising technique were compiled and discussed by experts. The papers of this symposium together with additional review papers and clinical studies are published in this volume. The publication begins with the physical and biological background of interstitial and intracavitary hyperthermia continues with comprehensive review papers on clinical topics and then gives examples for a wide variety of clinical applications. This volume will contribute to better understanding and application of the treatment possibilities of radio oncology in combination with this new treatment modality.
This volume summarizes biological aspects of heat interaction with radiotherapy, presents the technical state of the art, and analyzes the clinical results in respect of tumors of a variety of sites. Treatment control and planning, special clinical applications, and multicenter clinical trials all receive extensive consideration. The book will appeal to the theoretical researcher, the oncological practitioner, and specialists in related areas.
