Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal doxorubicin, use different ways to
stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Microwave thermotherapy kills
tumor cells by heating them to several degrees above body temperature. Combining liposomal
doxorubicin with microwave thermotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of liposomal
doxorubicin when given together with microwave thermotherapy in treating patients with
prostate cancer.
