Does the success of hyperthermia depend on the heating-method?
نویسنده
چکیده
Background: Oncothermia has a quarter-century history [1]. It was started by typical invasive solution (ECT, electro-cancer-therapy) and tried also invasive interstitial technology; even systemic heating was also in the production range. However, the non-invasive loco-regional (EHY2000 series) and the multilocal (EHY3000 series) products, together with the intraluminar application (EHY1000 series) became popular among professionals. Why has Oncotherm tried so many forms of synergy of electric and thermal effects? Because it had historically the same frustration as hyperthermia had in general with the start of A d'Arsonval through W. Coley or HI. Robins to H. LeVeen. My objective is to discuss the challenges and show the possible solutions of present status of oncological hyperthermia.

Numerical study of induction heating by micro / nano magnetic particles in hyperthermia
Hyperthermia is one of the first applications of nanotechnology in medicine by using micro/nano magnetic particles that act based on the heat of ferric oxide nanoparticles or quantum dots in an external alternating magnetic field. In this study, a two-dimensional model of body and tumor tissues embedded is considered. Initially, the temperature distribution is obtained with respect to tumor pro...
متن کاملSimulation of tissue heating by magnetic fluid hyperthermia
Objective: Magnetic fluid hyperthermia is a technique in which thermal energy is generated by magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) that are excited by an alternating magnetic field (AC field). During hyperthermia, in-vivo monitoring of elevation of temperature relies on invasive insertion of conventional thermometers, or employment of thermo-sensitive cameras that lack high precision....

Introduction: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most prevalent malignant tumor in the male population worldwide and it is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in males. PCa is almost incurable due to the resistance of PCa to conventional treatments. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) theory suggests that a small subpopulation of cancer cells is responsible for tumor development, ...
