    Regional hyperthermia selectively heats the liver to treat cancer. This novel technique shows promise for tumor necrosis or growth cessation in patients, warranting further investigation.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Medical Technology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Hyperthermia, alone or with chemotherapy, is an established cancer treatment.
    • Regional hyperthermia is hypothesized to be more effective than whole-body hyperthermia.
    • A novel technique for targeted liver hyperthermia was developed.

    Observation:

    • The procedure involved vascular isolation of the liver in four human patients.
    • The liver was cannulated via the hepatic artery, portal vein, and inferior vena cava.
    • The liver was perfused with oxygenated blood and nutrients from a reservoir.

    Findings:

    • The targeted liver hyperthermia procedure was performed for 4 hours at 42-43°C.
    • Radiologic and histologic evidence indicated tumor necrosis or growth cessation in three patients.

  • The technique was deemed safe for clinical experimental use.

    • Implications:

    • This localized liver heating method offers a new approach to cancer therapy.
    • Further research is recommended to explore the full potential of this technique.
    • The findings support the investigation of regional hyperthermia for liver tumors.
