Hyperthermia as a safe and effective cancer treatment modality is
rapidly evolving propelled by widespread research and clinical
efforts worldwide. Presentations on Hyperthermia experience are now
commonplace at Oncology meetings, as are congresses dedicated
entirely to the intertwined interactions between basic sciences and
patient treatment that together are forming the structure of a new
medical specialty. Such was the XII International Symposium on
Clinical Hyperthermia held in Rome, Italy, April 27 - 29, 1989.
Papers presented therein constitute the backbone of this book.
Biology research has provided data describing mechanisms of action
for the cancer cell killing and physiological effects of
Hyperthermia. Physics research has led to the development of
equipment enabling treatment of many areas of the human body, as
well as explained the limitations that still constrain our ability
to treat, especially in the areas of deep seated tumor heating and
non-invasive thermometry. The main question that will decide the
future of this modality is that of its clinical use. To put it
succinctly, what do we do with this potentially useful tool in an
everyday clinical oncological practice . ** ? This is the main
question addressed in this book as "Consensus on Hyperthermia for
the 1990s. " The book in cludes 28 presented papers and 25 invited
chapters from some of the leading experts in the field. Their basic
mechanisms of action were physics principles, treatment quality
assurance and especially, clinical indications.
