A combined androgen deprivation and thermotherapy cancer treatment. For example, the combination can be used to treat prostate cancer. Chemical compounds, including a non-steroidal anti-androgen and/or an LH-RH agonist, such as androgen deprivation therapy ("ADT"), can be used in combination with application of non-ionizing radiation to treat cancer. The chemical compounds can be administered before, simultaneously with, and/or after the application of the non-ionizing radiation. When the ADT is applied before the application of the radiation, a reduction in cancer volume can be expected. In patients treated in such a manner, evidence of recurring cancer was not observed.
