Clinical study for advanced pancreas cancer treated by oncothermia

Abstract

Pancreas cancer (PCA) is an aggressive, common malignant tumor. We present two retrospective clinical studies of PCA done in two medical centers (HTT-MED Day-clinic and Peterfy Hospital). Both of the centers made the treatments by oncothermia in combination with the conventional tumor-therapies. We present the data from both centers and make a metaanalysis of the data as well. Results show a remarkable survival benefit for the patients compared to the historical data. The comparison of the studies shows a good correspondence in the data, which strengthens the reliability of the studies, and points out the feasibility of the oncothermia application on PCA.
