A patient with recurrent rectal cancer was treated with the combination of radiotherapy plus hyperthermia. Intratumoral thermometry probes were introduced within closed-tip catheters, inserted through the buttocks under computed tomography (CT) control. Catheters were fixed to the skin to stay in place during the whole treatment series. At the end of the radiotherapy series, tumour progression was apparent. Seven months following treatment, tumour growth was visible at the insertion site of one of the catheters. This finding indicates that catheters should not be placed outside the treatment volume involved in any locally curative treatment.
一名复发性直肠癌患者接受了放疗加高温治疗的联合方案。瘤内测温探头通过封闭头导管引入，在计算机断层扫描（CT）引导下经臀部插入。导管固定在皮肤上，以便在整个治疗过程中保持位置。在放疗疗程结束时，肿瘤进展明显。治疗七个月后，在其中一根导管的插入部位可见肿瘤生长。这一发现表明，在任何局部根治性治疗中，导管不应放置在治疗体积之外。
