Abstract
Although hyperthermia alone has limited antitumor effects at clinically tolerable doses, the method is currently being widely studied in combination with radiation, with promising results. A large amount of experimental and clinical data supports this combination. Much less is known about the possibilities of combining hyperthermia and chemotherapeutic drugs. This paper reports experimental data from cell culture and animals. The pharmacological effects of hyperthermia and known mechanisms for the interaction of heat and drugs will be presented. A better understanding of these processes is necessary for rational clinical application of the combined modality approach.
