Local recurrence of brain metastasis reduced by intra-operative hyperthermia treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: Results of this study suggest that intra-operative hyperthermia treatment after total resection of metastatic brain tumor could reduce local recurrence of tumor. We believe that intra-operative hyperthermia treatment could be used as an adjuvant therapy to surgery and post-operative radiotherapy, or as a salvage treatment in patients who cannot receive further radiotherapy.
