[Tumor hyperthermia using high frequency for increase of oncolysis by clostridium butyricum (M 55)]. 1976

F Dietzel, and D Gericke, and W König

In solid experimental tumors hypoxic cells preferably are inactivated by means of a short-termed radio-frequency treatment with eddy-current fields. Hence follows an increase of the necro-biotic areas. The presence of anoxic-necrobiotic areas is indispensable for the termination of certain anaerobic spores such as Clostridium butyricum s. oncolyticum (M 55). Local tumor hyperthermy is tested as a technique in altogether 861 mice bearing neck tumors, in order to enhance the germination of oncolytic Clostridia in tumors differing by their mode of formation and rate of growth. In all the three test systems used (Ehrlich solid carcinoma, Harding-Pasey-melanoma, fibrosarcoma induced by methylcholanthrene), the oncolysis being brought about by Clostridia can be intensified significantly by means of a short-termed warming of the tumor up to temperatures of 42 to 44 degress C using radio-frequency.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.

D011846 Radio Waves Electromagnetic waves with frequencies between about 3 kilohertz (very low frequency - VLF) and 300,000 megahertz (extremely high frequency - EHF). They are used in television and radio broadcasting, land and satellite communications systems, radionavigation, radiolocation, and DIATHERMY. The highest frequency radio waves are MICROWAVES.

D003013 Clostridium A genus of motile or nonmotile gram-positive bacteria of the family Clostridiaceae. Many species have been identified with some being pathogenic. They occur in water, soil, and in the intestinal tract of humans and lower animals.
D005354 Fibrosarcoma A sarcoma derived from deep fibrous tissue, characterized by bundles of immature proliferating fibroblasts with variable collagen formation, which tends to invade locally and metastasize by the bloodstream. (Stedman, 25th ed) Fibrosarcomas
