[Use of carminomycin in combination with UHF hyperthermia in the therapy of sarcoma 180].

It was found that combined treatment of sarcoma 180 with local U. H. F.-hyperthermia and carminomycin resulted in the tumor growth inhibition by more than 90 per cent, which was much higher than the effect of every agent alone. The thermochemotherapy allowed a decrease in the dose of the antibiotic without decreasing the antitumor effect. The U. H. F.-hyperthermia has an independent tumorolytic effect and promotes selective accumulation of carminomycin by the tumor.
