Several clinical phase-III trials have demonstrated improvements outcome when locoregional hyperthermia added radio- and/or chemotherapy patients with locally advanced or recurrent superficial and pelvic tumors. Further studies revealed a benefit for hyperthermic chemoperfusion adjuvant therapy abdominal malignancies melanoma extremities.
