Interstitial hyperthermia using a warm water system (KHS-9) offers effective and homogeneous tumor heating. This method, combined with Ir-192 brachytherapy, is suitable for various cancers.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Medical Physics
  • Radiotherapy

Context:

  • Interstitial hyperthermia is increasingly used with interstitial radioactive implants for treating accessible tumors.
  • The KHS-9 warm water system is adapted for hyperthermia using the same needles as Ir-192 high-dose-rate brachytherapy.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and temperature homogeneity of interstitial hyperthermia combined with interstitial radioactive implants.
  • To assess the feasibility of using the KHS-9 system for clinical hyperthermia applications.

Summary:

  • In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated good temperature homogeneity within the heated tumor volume.
  • Maximum temperature deviation in vivo was 1.5°C.
  • Clinical target temperature (42.5°C) was maintained with water temperatures of 46-49.5°C at 8mm needle spacing.

Impact:

  • This integrated approach allows for simultaneous or sequential radiation and hyperthermia, potentially improving treatment outcomes for various cancers.
  • The technique is applicable to primary tumors, gynecological recurrences, and melanoma metastases.
