Abstract

We treated 984 advanced or recurrent cancer patients with hyperthermia or immunotherapy (2005/7-2009/12). We have 137 clinical benefit cases (CR, PR and long SD) including 22 complete response (CR) cases. Effective rates of immunotherapy increased from 9.8% to 17.8% using hyperthermia. In the cases of ovarian cancer, head and neck cancer, lung cancer, prostatic cancer, gastric cancer, thyroid cancer and breast cancer, all confirmed high effective rates with hyperthermic immunotherapy.
