Temperature measure in hyperthermia treatment is for controlling the temperature of the tumor, and the temperature of the tumor can be kept that for hyperthermia treatment.
The radiator, as a critical element in successful microwave hyperthermia treatment for cancer , is actually a microwave antenna working in close field , which can send microwave energy to cancer cell and fever it to the proper temperature.
3. The bond of temperature controlling and thermal therapy has been achieved, the experimental prototype of thermal dosimeter equipment has been developed and clinical experiment scheme has been designed.
Particularly, both the rise of temperature and the thermal damage may cause the change of blood perfusion during in thermal therapy, meanwhile the quantified describe of the change was less seen.
Quercetin completely inhibited the synthesis and intracellular accumulation of 70-kD heat shock protein (HSP70) in response to hyperthermia or to treatment with sodium arsenite, whereas dihydroquercetin in the same or higher doses had no such effect.
This review compares high- and lowenergy transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) and transurethral needle ablation (TUNA) of the prostate with TURP in clinical efficacy and safety.
This review article discusses microwave thermotherapy as such an option and reports the long-term experience with the CoreTherm (CoreTherm Operations AB, Sweden) device.
This paper presents a heat transfer model for the hyperthermia treatment of cervix cancer using a intracavitary microwave applicator and based on which the 3-D finite element simulation of the temperature fields have done.
Characteristics of this energy source also allow it to be used for precisely controlled thermal therapy directed at soft tissues so as to induce such changes as collagen deposition and tissue shrinkage.
A combination of injection and thermal therapy with initial injection to slow the bleeding or "clear the field" followed by coagulation of the identified vessel is popular.Bleeding recurs in 15% of patients.
With this information, we may soon be able to maximize the strategic use of thermal therapy as an adjuvant, i.e., combining its use with cancer immunotherapies such as vaccines, which depend upon the function of DCs.
Laser interstitial thermal therapy shares many of the advantages and much of the success of radiofrequency thermoablation but has not been as available.
Local tissue temperature and blood perfusion rate were measured simultaneously to study thermoregulation in the canine prostate during transurethral radio-frequency (RF) thermal therapy.
