The effects of hyperthermia (HT) and irradiation (RT) on a cultured human glioma cell line (KC) was examined by a colony formation assay and immuno-histochemical methods using monoclonal antibody (MoAb) against bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) and MoAb Ki-67. The colony formation assay revealed that HT inhibited the cell survival in time and temperature dependent fashion. RT also inhibited the cell survival depending on the irradiation doses. The combination of HT and RT showed an additive effect. The immunohistochemical examination indicated that both HT and RT reduced the BrdU labeling index and Ki-67 positive rate of the surviving cells. HT mainly affected the cells in the S-phase and RT seemed to affect the cells in the G2+ M phase. The combination of HT and RT also showed an additive effect. These results suggest that the combined therapy will be useful in the treatment of malignant gliomas.

D001973	Bromodeoxyuridine	A nucleoside that substitutes for thymidine in DNA and thus acts as an antimetabolite. It causes breaks in chromosomes and has been proposed as an antiviral and antineoplastic agent. It has been given orphan drug status for use in the treatment of primary brain tumors.

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.

D005910	Glioma	Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.
