Effects of Hyperthermia on Bladder Cancer

R R Hall, R O K Schade, J Swinney
PMCID: PMC1610802  PMID: 4833966

Abstract

A study of the effect of bladder lavage with isotonic fluid at 45° C on proliferative transitional cell carcinoma has shown definite cancericidal changes. These early studies suggest that further investigation of hyperthermia on a larger scale would be worth while.
