Thirteen patients with Pancoast tumor were treated with combined radiotherapy and hyperthermia from April 1987 to December 1992. Radiotherapy was performed using 10 MV X-rays, and all patients received a total dosage of 40-118 Gy with conventional fractionation. Hyperthermia was performed once or twice a week within 30 minutes after each irradiation, using 8 MHz RF capacitive heating equipment (Thermotron RF-8). Partial response, defined as 50% or more regression of the tumor, was observed in 7/13 (54%) patients, and the median survival time was 25.2 months. Results of 14 patients treated with irradiation alone from July 1980 to December 1992 were also evaluated, and were used as a historical control. The partial response was 4/14 (29%) and the median survival time was 7.3 months. Radiotherapy combined with hyperthermia is an effective modality for treating Pancoast tumors.
