The combination of ionizing irradiation and local hyperthermia therapy has been demonstrated to be efficacious in a variety of localized neoplasms. One of the most consistent conclusions from this experience, however, is the finding that large tumor size is a significant negative prognosticator for attaining complete tumor regression. During the past decade investigators have begun to look at the possibility of adding chemotherapy to thermo-radiotherapy in order to improve the efficacy of treatment in patients with large tumors. This review article summarizes the recent clinical experience with such triple modality therapy.
