Figure 1. Distribution of tumour regression grades after preoperative radiochemotherapy without pelvic hyperthermia (RCT), with 1–3 hyperthermia treatments (HRCT 1–3) and with four or more hyperthermia treatments (HRCT > 4). With the application of at least four hyperthermia treatments significantly more patients achieved pathological complete response (see ).
