Abstract

Local microwave hyperthermia in combination with local injections of interleukin 2 (IL-2) was found to exert a remarkable suppressive effect on murine melanoma growth. Both of these therapeutic modalities caused marked tumour infiltration with natural killer cells. After microwave hyperthermia or IL-2 injection alone there was minimal T-cell infiltration, but T cells were more in evidence following combination therapy.
