Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of deep regional hyperthermia on long-term local control and survival in locally advanced non-metastatic rectal cancer. Methods: In total 103 patients with locally advanced non-metastatic rectal cancer were treated preoperatively with either neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy alone (n = 43) or the same treatment with additional deep regional hyperthermia (n = 60). The two groups were compared with respect to local control, overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and distant metastases-free survival (DMFS). Results: Patients receiving additional hyperthermia had excellent long-term local control with a 5-year Kaplan-Meier estimate of 98% compared with 87% in the radiochemotherapy only group (p = 0.09). Five-year rates for OS (88% versus 76%, p = 0.08), DFS (77% versus 73%, p = n.s.) and DMFS (75% versus 77%, p = n.s.) were not statistically different between the two groups. Conclusion: Radiochemotherapy combined with hyperthermia results in excellent long-term local control.
