Description

Intratumoral, intravesical and rectal temperatures were measured in 10 patients with bladder cancer during RF-hyperthemia using thermocouples. The temperature measurement study demostrated the temperature distribution as follows : (1) 44.5±1.3°C (mean±SD) in the central area of the tumors, (2) 43.6±1.0°Cin the tumor margin, (3) 42.9±1.2°C in the vesical cavity, (4) 42.4±0.6°Cin the rectal cavity.The temperature of the vesical cavity proved to be useful for estimating the tumor margin temperature. In addition, there was a significant correlation (p<0.01) between the mean output power required for RF-hyperthermia and the intravesical temperature, and also the thickness of the subcutaneous fat tissue.
