Abstract

The analysis of the results of the use of whole-body hyperthermia (WBH) in patients with locally advanced, recurrent and / or metastatic tumors, which, as a rule, are radio- and chemo-resistant. Most patients were incurable, in connection with which the treatment was mainly carried out with a palliative purpose. The analysis showed that the method alone or in combination with chemo- and radiation therapy has pronounced direct and palliative effects, in some cases it provides long-term control. However, WBH can have side effects. This necessitates further improvement of the method, development of a set of preventive measures, as well as improvement of equipment for heating and thermometry.
