SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
There are three different techniques for pro- viding internal hyperthermia: (1) interstitial hyperthermia using implanted needle probes, (2) intracavitary hyperthermia using probes introduced into natural body cavities, and (3) perfusional hyperthermia by means of ex- tracorporal blood heating.
