Experiments were carried out to determine the effect of heat and/or x rays on the Ridgway osteogenic sarcoma in AKD2F1/J male mice. Tumors averaging 0.9 ± 0.2 cm in diameter were exposed to 200 rads and/or heat three times on alternate days. Tumor core temperatures of 42.5 ± 0.5 °C were maintained for 15, 30 or 45 minutes immediately before or after x irradiation. Heat alone did not effect cures whereas radiation alone cured 8 of 18 animals (44%). In contrast, 71 of the 74 animals (96%) receiving the combined treatment were cured. Radiation was equally effective whether given immediately before or after tumor hyperthermia. There were no differences in cure rates in the 15-, 30- or 45-minute heat/radiation groups.
