Hyperthermia and Breast cancer: A short review
نویسنده
چکیده
Hypertermia (HT) is a radiosensitizer and also a cytotoxic treatment modality. HT inhibits lethal damage and sublethal damage repair. Different devices are used but no gold standart equipment is advised by authorities. HT kills tumor cells itself or sensitize them for the treatment outcomes for chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Thermotolerance is a special condition that immune response occurs against tumor cells after usage of HT.

Effect of the combination of 6 MeV radiotherapy with hyperthermia and gold nanoparticles on the MCF-7 breast cancer cells
Introduction: Combining radiotherapy as one of the main modalities used for cancer treatment with other modalities such as hyperthermia has recently played a special role in reducing side effects and improving treatment outcomes. In addition, Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have also attracted attention as suitable clinical agents for enhancing the effect of radiotherapy in treating ...
متن کاملShort-time focused ultrasound hyperthermia enhances liposomal doxorubicin delivery and antitumor efficacy for brain metastasis of breast cancer
The blood-brain/tumor barrier inhibits the uptake and accumulation of chemotherapeutic drugs. Hyperthermia can enhance the delivery of chemotherapeutic agent into tumors. In this study, we investigated the effects of short-time focused ultrasound (FUS) hyperthermia on the delivery and therapeutic efficacy of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) for brain metastasis of breast cancer. Murine bre...

Introduction: Magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) is a promising therapeutic method in cancer therapy with using magnetic nanoparticles (NPs). In this study, we assessed the effect of MFH on mechanisms of cell death in murine breast cancer cell line (MC4-L2) and also the treatment of breast tumor in BALB/C mice using four generation dendrimer coated iron oxide nanoparticles (G4@I...

Globally, breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women, which comprises 23% of all female cancers that are newly diagnosed in more than 1.1 million women each year. Over 411 000 deaths result from breast cancer annually; this accounts for over 1.6% of female deaths from all causes. Hyperthermia also called thermal therapy or thermotherapy is a type of cancer treatment in which bo...
