Alternative therapy for recurrent Hodgkin's disease. Radiotherapy combined with hyperthermia by electromagnetic radiation to create complete remission in 11 patients without morbidity.

Abstract

Eleven patients with recurrent Hodgkin's disease have returned to apparent normality after simple treatment regimes with radiotherapy and hyperthermia from 434 MHz electromagnetic radiation. None have experienced any complication or sequelae from this treatment. All the patients with recurrent active Hodgkin's disease who attended the author's practice since February 1976 have been treated with this combined treatment and are reported here.
