Abstract
Up to 1982, 126 patients were treated with hyperthermia alone or in combination with either radiotherapy or chemotherapy at the Department of Radiotherapy at the University Hospital in Essen. We used conventional generators (13, 27, 434, and 1540 MHz). The combination of radiation plus heat was most favorable (Gerhard and Scherer 1983).
