The treatment of malignancy by hyperthermia

C Christophi et al. Surg Oncol. 1998 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

The use of hyperthermia for the selective destruction of tumours may be applied by a whole body, surgical perfusion or interstitial techniques. The main determinant of selectivity is tumour blood flow. The effects of hyperthermia may be augmented by step-down heating, manipulating pH changes and sensitisation by chemotherapy or specific pharmacological agents.
