Chemoradiation with hyperthermia in the treatment of head and neck cancer

Abstract

This retrospective analysis demonstrates the feasibility and efficacy of chemoradiation with hyperthermia in advanced head and neck cancer. The study is encouraging enough to start a randomised trial to compare chemoradiation with triple modality of treatment.
