Fifty-two cases of advanced head and neck cancer were treated by 434-MHz radiowave hyperthermia which was combined with cobalt radiotherapy and/or radioactive gold grain implant. Complete resolution of primary and secondary lesions occurred in 94% of cases, and the survival rate after three years was 54%. Retrospective study of comparable series revealed 62.5% resolution rate, and 29% survival after treatment with hyperbaric oxygen and cobalt, while after conventional supervoltage therapy, the resolution rate was 36.5%, and only 19% survived for three years.
52例晚期头颈癌患者接受了434兆赫射频热疗，该热疗与钴放疗和/或放射性金粒植入相结合。94%的病例原发灶和继发灶完全消退，三年生存率为54%。对可比系列的回顾性研究显示，高压氧和钴治疗后的消退率为62.5%，生存率为29%，而传统超高压治疗后的消退率为36.5%，三年生存率仅为19%。
