English
Authors' objectives:
To synthesize the evidence on efficacy of hyperthermia in combination with radio] or chemotherapy in breast, bladder, cervix carcinoma and soft tissue sarcoma patients.
Authors' recommendations:
Due to heterogeneity of the trials in technique, protocol, reporting of outcomes, control interventions, but also tumour characteristics within the same indication there is a high degree of uncertainty and the available evidence must be considered as insufficient. Large confirmatory RCTs are required.
