Abstract
The disappointing results for inoperable, advanced tumors of the uterine cervix after conventional radiotherapy alone necessitates improving of radiation therapy. Simultaneous chemotherapy or altered radiation fractionation, such as accelerated regimen, increase acute toxicity and treatment is often difficult to deliver in the planned manner. The purpose of this phase II study was to investigate the toxicity and effectiveness of a combined approach with radiotherapy and regional hyperthermia.Keywords
