[Use of local hyperthermia in treating cancer patients]
Abstract:
Basic research in thermobiology made it possible to substantiate the advisability of incorporation of local hyperthermia in schemes of radiotherapy of patients with tumors of different sites. Positive experience of thermoradiotherapy of 301 patients with laryngeal, head and neck, uterine and rectal tumors and osteogenic sarcoma using the Soviet equipment indicated the advisability of wider employment of local hyperthermia in various schemes of radio- and combined therapy.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
