Abstract:

The analysis of the major studies on the treatment of malignant tumours with the application of physical factors has demonstrated that at present time no such factor can serve as an alternative to the standard combined treatment of malignant tumours, including surgery, radio- and chemotherapy. Certain physical factors can be used to improve the efficiency of conventional treatment, but large-scale well-planned randomized clinical trials are necessary to estimate and confirm their role in the treatment of cancer and other malignant tumours.
