[Total-body hyperthermia and combined anticancer chemotherapy]. 1985

M Maeta, and S Koga

The present status of extracorporeally induced total-body hyperthermia (TBHT) for far-advanced cancer was presented from data collected from Japanese patients given this treatment. TBHT was most effective in lung cancer. In analyzing the anticancer effects of TBHT according to cancer site, the highest efficacy was observed in patients with their main cancer in the lung or liver, irrespective of whether tumorigenesis was primary or secondary. The anticancer effects were more enhanced when TBHT was combined with dosage of cis-DDP. What is important in combined chemotherapy is to determine what agent(s) should be applied and when. The most useful method for examining the thermosensitivity and thermochemosensitivity of agents for drug selection was the human tumor stem cell assay using individual cancer cells. Further, the usefulness of angiotensin II-induced hypertensive chemotherapy during TBHT in augmenting selective drug delivery to tumors was stressed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006979 Hyperthermia, Induced Abnormally high temperature intentionally induced in living things regionally or whole body. It is most often induced by radiation (heat waves, infra-red), ultrasound, or drugs. Fever Therapy,Hyperthermia, Local,Hyperthermia, Therapeutic,Thermotherapy,Induced Hyperthermia,Therapeutic Hyperthermia,Therapy, Fever,Local Hyperthermia
D008937 Mitomycins A group of methylazirinopyrroloindolediones obtained from certain Streptomyces strains. They are very toxic antibiotics used as ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENTS in some solid tumors. PORFIROMYCIN and MITOMYCIN are the most useful members of the group.
D009369 Neoplasms New abnormal growth of tissue. Malignant neoplasms show a greater degree of anaplasia and have the properties of invasion and metastasis, compared to benign neoplasms.

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.

D003131 Combined Modality Therapy The treatment of a disease or condition by several different means simultaneously or sequentially. Chemoimmunotherapy, RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY, chemoradiotherapy, cryochemotherapy, and SALVAGE THERAPY are seen most frequently, but their combinations with each other and surgery are also used.

D000804 Angiotensin II An octapeptide that is a potent but labile vasoconstrictor. It is produced from angiotensin I after the removal of two amino acids at the C-terminal by ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME. The amino acid in position 5 varies in different species. To block VASOCONSTRICTION and HYPERTENSION effect of angiotensin II, patients are often treated with ACE INHIBITORS or with ANGIOTENSIN II TYPE 1 RECEPTOR BLOCKERS.
