An implant heating system using a ferromagnetic implant with low Curie temperature has been developed for treating human brain tumors. Safe and repeated hyperthermia was possible over periods averaging ten weeks in 23 out of 25 patients with malignant brain tumors without development of major side effects. Evaluation of the effects of this new treatment is still preliminary. Overall response rate was 34.8%. However, five of thirteen cases of malignant glioma and two of five cases of brain metastasis were responded well to interstitial hyperthermia given with or without irradiation. Pathological findings common to the treated tumors were circumscribed, ellipsoid shape of coagulation necrosis around the implant. Degeneration of tumor cells, hemorrhage, vascular stasis and thrombosis were found adjacent to the necrosis. In the future, a combination of interstitial hyperthermia with brachytherapy and chemotherapy may offer improved local control of brain tumor.

D010984 Platinum A heavy, soft, whitish metal, resembling tin, with atomic number 78, atomic weight 195.084, symbol Pt. It is used in manufacturing equipment for laboratory and industrial use. It occurs as a black powder (platinum black) and as a spongy substance (spongy platinum) and may have been known in Pliny's time as "alutiae". Platinum Black
D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D005909 Glioblastoma A malignant form of astrocytoma histologically characterized by pleomorphism of cells, nuclear atypia, microhemorrhage, and necrosis. They may arise in any region of the central nervous system, with a predilection for the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, and commissural pathways. Clinical presentation most frequently occurs in the fifth or sixth decade of life with focal neurologic signs or seizures.
