PURPOSE:
Several institutions have accumulated clinical experience with the annular array as well as with the Sigma applicator. There exist only limited data in comparison of both heating devices possibly favoring the annular array over the Sigma applicator with regard to tumor temperatures and acute toxicity. The objective of this study was to record temperature distributions at identical sites in tumor and normal tissue in the same patients treated with each device.

ABSTRACT:
We investigated the feasibility and the anti-tumour activity of weekly cisplatin and the simultaneous application of local hyperthermia in patients with a pelvic recurrence of cervical cancer in previously irradiated area. Dose levels of cisplatin 60 mg m(-2), 70 mg m(-2) and 80 mg m(-2) were studied.

PURPOSE:
From 1991 to 1997, 58 patients with HR-STS at RP/V sites were prospectively treated with four cycles of etoposide, ifosfamide, and doxorubicin combined with RHT followed by surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy, and radiation.
