Radiotherapy combined with deep regional hyperthermia in elderly and frail patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer: quality analysis of hyperthermia and impact on clinical results

Conclusion: The reproducibility of HT parameters between sessions was high. A moderately high CEM43T90 (> 2.4 min) for each HT session seems to be preferable for local control. RT combined with HT is a promising organ-preservation therapy for elderly and frail MIBC patients.PMID:37932002 | DOI:10.1080/02656736.2023.2275540
