[The clinical effect of hyperthermia combined with induced hypertension chemotherapy].

In cancer therapy, the authors have attempted to decrease the side effects. Since 1975 they have used immuno-thermo-chemotherapy(so-called ITC therapy). At this time the ITC therapy is used in combination with induced-hypertension-chemotherapy (IHC therapy). This new approach has been applied to patients with terminal or advanced malignancy, which have been unsuccessfully treated by conventional ITC therapy. This report compares the clinical effects of conventional ITC therapy those of new modality in the same patient. The clinical results are 6 cases of I-A and one case of I-B according to Karnofsky's criteria. This New modality is more effective than the conventional ITC therapy in all 7 patients.
