Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="cam4431-abs-0002"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>The standardization of radiofrequency hyperthermia using an 8 MHz radiofrequency capacitive heating device can be established as a potential new treatment for rectal cancer concomitant with chemoradiation therapy. This new combined modality provides another potential treatment in patients with rectal cancer. <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgjrk5v2nq" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></p> </abstract>
