Abstract
The prospect of a successful introduction of hyperthermia in the field of radiooncology increased during the last few years as a result of the technical realization of selective and controlled heat applications in well defined and also deep seated target volumes. This lead to extensive radiobiological studies on this subject (10). Possible side effects as the development of “thermotolerance”, an adaptive reaction of the tissue ( 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 9 ) , as well as cytotoxicity of heat treatments were discussed (1,5).
