Abstract EN
Hyperthermia (HT) is a method used to treat tumors by increasing the temperature of the cells.
The treatment can be applied in combination with other verified cancer treatments using several different procedures.
We sought to present an overview of the different HT tumor treatment, recent advances in the field, and combinational treatment sequences and outcomes.
We used a computer-aided search to identify articles that contained the keywords hyperthermia, cancer treatment, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, nanoparticle, and cisplatin.
There are three types of HT treatment, which each need the use of applicators that are in contact with or in the proximity of the patient for the purpose of heating.
Heating can be achieved using different types of energy (including microwaves, radio waves, and ultrasound).
However, the source of energy will depend on the cancer type and location.
The temperature used will also vary.
HT is rarely used alone, and can be combined with other cancer treatments.
When used in combination with other treatments, improved survival rates have been observed.
However, despite in vitro and in vivo studies that support the use of concurrent hypothermia treatments, contradictory results suggest there is a need for more studies to identify other hidden effects of HT.
