Frontiers in oncology·2019

Hyperthermia therapy, when used with radiation or chemotherapy, offers significant benefits for cancer patients. This approach effectively targets and destroys tumor cells, enhancing treatment outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Biophysics
  • Cancer Biology

Context:

  • Clinical application of hyperthermia in oncology.
  • Hyperthermia as a potent cell-killing agent.
  • Selective induction of hyperthermia in tumor tissue.

Purpose:

  • To explore the biological rationale and clinical application of hyperthermia in cancer treatment.
  • To investigate the synergistic effects of hyperthermia with radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
  • To highlight advancements in hyperthermia application techniques.

Summary:

  • Hyperthermia is a biologically sound cancer treatment that selectively targets tumor cells.
  • Its mechanism complements and enhances radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
  • Significant progress in application techniques has been achieved over 20 years of clinical investigation.
