Local response of hyperthermia for soft tissue and bone tumors was investigated. Ten tumors were superficial tumors and 16 were deep seated tumors; 9 tumors were malignant fibrous histiocytoma, 5 were liposarcoma, 4 were neurogenic and 3 were myogenic sarcoma. The other five tumors were an angiosarcoma, a malignant mesenchymoma, an Ewing's sarcoma, a chordoma and an osteosarcoma. Some 23 tumors were heated in combination with radiation therapy, and 3 were combined with arterial infusion of ADR. Four of 10 superficial tumors disappeared (CR), and, 2 of 10 signified PR. Only one of 16 deep seated tumors showed CR, 3 were PR and 12 showed no response. But 4 of 12 tumors without regression in tumor volume indicated coagulation necrosis owing to histological examinations, and 5 of 12 were regarded as the same response from hypodensity area with CT examination after hyperthermia. Local response rate of of superficial tumors was 60% and that of deep-seated tumors was 81.4%.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D006979	Hyperthermia, Induced	Abnormally high temperature intentionally induced in living things regionally or whole body. It is most often induced by radiation (heat waves, infra-red), ultrasound, or drugs.

D007261	Infusions, Intra-Arterial	Regional infusion of drugs via an arterial catheter. Often a pump is used to impel the drug through the catheter. Used in therapy of cancer, upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, infection, and peripheral vascular disease.

D011846	Radio Waves	Electromagnetic waves with frequencies between about 3 kilohertz (very low frequency - VLF) and 300,000 megahertz (extremely high frequency - EHF). They are used in television and radio broadcasting, land and satellite communications systems, radionavigation, radiolocation, and DIATHERMY. The highest frequency radio waves are MICROWAVES.

D011882	Radiotherapy, High-Energy	Radiotherapy using high-energy (megavolt or higher) ionizing radiation. Types of radiation include gamma rays, produced by a radioisotope within a teletherapy unit; x-rays, electrons, protons, alpha particles (helium ions) and heavy charged ions, produced by particle acceleration; and neutrons and pi-mesons (pions), produced as secondary particles following bombardment of a target with a primary particle.

D003131	Combined Modality Therapy	The treatment of a disease or condition by several different means simultaneously or sequentially. Chemoimmunotherapy, RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY, chemoradiotherapy, cryochemotherapy, and SALVAGE THERAPY are seen most frequently, but their combinations with each other and surgery are also used.
