Abstract

Seven patients with advanced prostatic cancer were treated with the combination of prostatic hyperthermia (RF-wave of 13.56MHz and chemotherapy (VP-16+peplomycin). It was spossible to heat prostatic tumors up to higher than 42°C in 4 cases.
The tumor size was reduced in 6 cases after the treatment.
As side effects, slight skin burning (1 case), anorexia (1 case) and diarrhea (3 cases) were noted.
This new treatment might be effective for hormone-resistant prostatic cancer.
