Description: Over 50 papers offer technical accounts of how research in hyperthermia can be applied to the clinical treatment of cancer. Some of the topics are heat shock proteins, biochemical and ultrastructural changes in the hyperthermic treatment of tumor cells, instrumentation, interstitial hyperthermia, radiometry and previsional thermometry as noninvasive measurement techniques, biological response to heat, local microwave hyperthermia and benign prostatic hyperplasia induced bladder outlet obstruction, and responses of the immune system. Acidic paper.
