A combined treatment of alpha interferon (INF), 8 MHz radiofrequency (RF) hyperthermia using Thermotron-RF Model 8 and/or irradiation was performed on a patient with advanced renal cancer. The patient was a 52-year-old male, who had received arterial embolization with a gelatin sponge and 60 mg of
A combined treatment of irradiation and 8 MHz radiofrequency hyperthermia after chemoembolization, using 20 mg of microencapsulated mitomycin C (MMC.mc), was undertaken in a patient with an advanced left renal tumor. The patient, a 70-year-old man, noticed a gross hematuria in February, 1984. CT
A combined therapy of irradiation and 8 MHz radiofrequency hyperthermia using the Thermotron-RF Model 8 was performed on a patient with mediastinal metastasis of renal cancer. The patient was a 74-year-old male, who received left transperitoneal nephrectomy for left renal tumor in December, 1982.
The attempt of treatment for metastatic renal cancer has not been a success as all the methods known failed to produce any significant effect on the development of metastases. So the search for the means which could potentiate the antitumor activity of the drugs or radiation therapy is still a
CONCLUSIONS
