(7) As hyperthermia is non-myelosuppressive and can potentiate the tumoricidal effects of biological regulatory therapies, its use as part of a multimodality treatment approach is attractive.
This method is noninvasive and ideal for delivering tumoricidal doses of radiotherapy to superficial lesions while limiting unfavorable delivery of radiation to healthy tissues due to rapid dose fall-off at the periphery of the lesions.
