We report three patients with advanced breast cancer who received hyperthermia (43 degrees C over 1 h, weekly x 4) and radiotherapy as palliative treatment for chest-wall recurrence. The case reports demonstrate situations where hyperthermia may be beneficial. These include tumours where radiotherapy alone is not expected to achieve control, such as large fungating tumours, and in previously irradiated areas. In these patients, hyperthermia with radiation achieves better local control of the tumour and delays the need for systemic chemotherapy. This may improve the quality of palliation.
我们报告了3例晚期乳腺癌患者，她们接受了热疗（43摄氏度，持续1小时，每周1次，共4次）及放疗，作为胸壁复发的姑息性治疗。这些病例报告展示了热疗可能有益的情况。这些情况包括单独放疗预计无法实现控制的肿瘤，如巨大的溃疡性肿瘤，以及既往接受过放疗的区域。在这些患者中，热疗联合放疗能更好地实现肿瘤的局部控制，并延迟全身化疗的需求。这可能改善姑息治疗的质量。
