What is the response rate to the treatment with hyperthermia?
This depends of course on the individual syndrome and can not be answered generally. It must be considered that hyperthermia is applied exactly in those cases where the response rate to chemotherapy or radiotherapy alone is insufficient. There exist experience values for each individual treatment concept (or study concept), which you can obtain from your doctor in attendance. For most treatment concepts, the response rate should be above 50 %. Sometimes, however, it must already be considered as a success if the state of health and the general condition can be stabilized by the therapy for a fairly long period of time (e.g. for several months).
