Following an introductory overview, Hyperthermia In Cancer Treatment: A Primer comprehensively describes the biological reasons for associating hyperthermia with radiation and chemotherapy and the biological and clinical effects of hyperthermia on cancerous and normal tissues. The volume's 20 chapters are arranged in three principal parts: physical and methodological studies, biologic principles, and clinical studies.
