Abstract
The outcome of treatment was studied in 89 renal carcinoma patients wi th metastases in regional lymph nodes and without distant metastases o r invasion of vena cava inferior. After radical surgery patients were exposed to the whole-body hyperthermia treatment including hyperglycem ia and adriamycin chemotherapy. The effect of this schedule was compar ed to that of surgical and combined modality treatment with radiothera py. A five-year survival of patients exposed to thermochemotherapy tre atment was 60.9%, as compared with 5.4% in those subjected to surgery alone (P < 0.001).
