Impact of Various Thermal Doses on the Oxygenation and Blood Flow in Malignant Tumors Upon Localized Hyperthermia

  • Chapter
Oxygen Transport to Tissue-V

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 169))

Abstract

Hyperthermia exhibits various direct cytocidal effects (Dickson, 1977; Overgaard, 1977; Suit, 1977). During heat treatment in vivo, several indirect mechanisms enhance the direct cell-killing capacity of hyperthermia. Therefore, the effective use of hyperthermia can overcome some of the well-known problems involved in modern radiation therapy at least in some malignant tumors.
