A 75-year-old woman who had undergone gastrectomy for gastric cancer at the age of 61 developed a huge left supraclavicular tumor (15 X 10 X 10 cm) suspected of being Virchow's node. She was treated with hyperthermochemoradiotherapy (HCT-therapy). After 10 sessions of radiofrequency hyperthermia by a Thermotron RF8, irradiation with 52.8 Gy of 60Co and injection of 8 mg of MMC, the tumor mass decreased by 77% on CT. The histologically resected specimen revealed coagulation necrosis in almost all areas. This case, which was considered HCR-therapy-effective, was estimated as Grade 3 according to The General Rules for the Gastric Cancer Study (The 11th edition.)
