A sample of potential massive starforming regions identified at 170 m by ISO was observed in the submillimeter and millimeter regime. These observations allow us to infer physical properties of the molecular cloud cores. Two sources are presented in detail: ISOSS J23053+5953 and J183640221 show viable candidates for massive protocluster cores. Our analysis shows very low temperatures and low levels of turbulence of the major mass fraction in the molecular cloud cores besides active star formation at an early evolutionary stage. These conditions seem similar to the low mass case and may precede phases of luminous infrared emission observed towards young massive protostars.
