Microwave Hyperthermia Treatment

Theoretical basis

Unlike normal cells, cancerous cells have a lower tolerance to temperature. Tumor cells can be destroyed by heating them, while normal cells can endure the heat.

Mechanisms

a. Cancer TaX cells contain a high proportion of water. The absorption of microwave radiation by the cancer lesion, both actively and passively, determines the proteins and water cells, which will convert the energy of that microwave to mechanical -energy makes water molecules in cells vibrate and spin in place. Subsequently, when temperature lesions reach 41-43℃, apoptosis through inhibitory mechanisms on ribonucleic acid, as well as DNA sequencing, commences. Apoptotic processes can also be induced by maintaining a temperature of around 40 degrees: the so-called stagnation phase. This temperature aids in the formation of the mayonnaise phenomenon, revealing active substratum degeneration while damaging cell structures, which requires decreases in pH, destroying cancer cells. When tumors are kept at a stable 43 degrees Celsius for half an hour, the cancer frequently obtains a supply but can consume energy rapidly.
b. Because a glomus tumor has abnormal, densely packed blood vessels, the temperature inside the mass rises noticeably higher than in nearby healthy tissue when it is warmed;

Indications

    • After the initial treatment of the malignant tumor – reevaluate for recurrence.

    • Malignant Lesions that have demonstrated metastasizing activity or lesion have active potential to a remote region

    • Before and after operative treatments as an adjunct therapy.

    • Combined treatment with radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

    • Patients with cancer who are non-responsive to both surgery and radiation therapy.

    • Non-responsive to chemotherapy or possesses multi-drug resistance.

    • Pleural and ascitic effusion resulting from a malignant tumor.

    • Providing palliative care to help manage but not cure severe cancerous tumors.
