Abstract :
The hyperthermia (HT) treatment experiences in MSC MCC during years 1989-2006 has been described shortly. They included mainly, in chronological way, research on the prostatic and cervix cancer, employing superficial and intra urethral microwave HT, using BSD-300 and specially designed transurethral applicators as well as 500 kHz HT with original device HT-2. Especially promising results have been obtained for patients unfit for standard gynecological brachytherapy if synergy of HT and brachytherapy were applied.
