Hyperthermic Perfusion of Extremities for Melanoma and soft Tissue Sarcomas

  • Chapter
Selective Heat Sensitivity of Cancer Cells

Abstract

Since the work of KLOPP (8, 9), CREECH (36) and our group (1316), perfusion has attracted wide attention as a method of treating patients with certain types of malignant neoplasms of the extermities. We began normothermic perfusion in 1957.
