Clinical Experience with Local Hyperthermia in Rotterdam

1990
In the Rotterdam Cancer Center, local hyperthemia has been applied clinically since 1979. Experience has lead to the development of a 433 MHz multi-applicator multi-generator system for heating superfically located tumors.Temperatures are measured using multi point optical fiber probes within closed tip catheters.

Clinical experiences with local microwave hyperthermia

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1979
Abstract At the Claire Zellerbach Saroni Tumor Institute, Mount Zion Hospital and Medical Center, 38 patients who failed definitive radiotherapy and chemotherapy were treated with 915 megahertz and 2450 megahertz microwave hyperthermia to observe normal tissue tolerance and therapeutic responses.

Local Hyperthermia for Warts Treatment

Journal of Visualized Experiments
Warts, benign epidermal proliferations, are a direct result of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, specifically targeting the keratinocytes within the stratum corneum of the skin. The development of warts is the most common clinical manifestation of HPV, with plantar warts, condylomata acuminata, and common warts being the most frequently observed ...

Local and Regional Hyperthermia

2011
Hyperthermia is a rise in core body temperature above the physiological norm. Used for centuries as a remedy for a range of afflictions, heat therapy is now recognised as an effective adjunct in the treatment of many cancers. Hyperthermia maybe induced locally in tissues to target a specific disease focus, or regionally in an extremity or body cavity ...

Hyperthermia by Local EM Heating and Local Conductivity Change

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 1977
A study is made on the scheme of heating a local region of a biological body by utilizing an EM field and increasing the conductivity of the local region. It was found that when the frequency of the EM field is in the range of 1 to 100 MHz, the increase of the conductivity of the local region usually causes a decrease, instead of an increase, of the ...

Local Hyperthermia, Radiation, and Chemotherapy in Locally Advanced Malignancies

Oncology, 2009
Tumor size is a significant prognostic variable for attaining complete regression (CR) with local hyperthermia (HT) and radiation therapy (RT). The addition of weekly chemotherapy was evaluated to improve the efficacy of thermoradiotherapy in poor-prognosis lesions (i.e. ≥1 cm2 or ≥ 14 cm3) which have an expected CR rate of ∼ 30 ± 8%.

Fabrication of magnetic micromachine for local hyperthermia

IEEE Transactions on Magnetics, 2002
One of the important functions of a micromachine working in the human body is heating for local hyperthermia. A magnetic heating system was attached to a spiral-type magnetic micromachine. This machine could work in a gel and could heat to over 50/spl deg/C by applying a rotational magnetic field and an alternating magnetic field. This machine would be

Clinical requirements for localized hyperthermia in the patient

Radiation and Environmental Biophysics, 1980
The physical and mechanical parameters to be considered when contemplating hyperthermia as a cancer treatment modality are discussed. These parameters include heat field size, uniformity of heating, method of hyperthermic production, selection of energy, heat flow, warm-up period and thermometry.

Local Tumor Hyperthermia in the 1990s

1990
There is compelling evidence that heat alone is tumoricidal and enhances efficacy of radiation therapy and cytotoxicity of many drugs. However, it is almost certain that during the next decade, heat will be used primarily as an adjuvant to surgery, radiation and chemotherapy rather than alone as the first line of treatment.
