Abstract

These results suggest that hyperthermia using MCLs is an effective therapy for prostate cancer, since this treatment appears to kill the prostate cancer cells not only directly by heating but also by inducing an immune response. This therapy may cure not only the primary lesion but also metastatic lesions.
