WHOLE BODY HYPERTHERMIA CLINICAL TRIALS.

Abstract

Results of a phase I study led to the conclusion that a radiant heat system (RHS) provides a safe and effective method of inducing 41. 8 degree C whole body hyperthermia (WBH) which is suitable for combination therapy. Multimodality studies combining WBH with radiation, chemotherapy and interferon have been initiated. These clinical trials as well as various biophysical and physiological aspects of the RHS are described.
