Even though hyperthermia is a promising treatment for cancer, the relationship between specific temperatures and clinical benefits and predictors of sensitivity of cancer to hyperthermia is poorly understood. Ovarian and uterine tumors have diverse hyperthermia sensitivities. Integrative analyses of
Anticancer effects of hyperthermia and radiation on uterine cancer cells were studied using multicellular tumor spheroids and monolayer cultured cells. Cell lines used were SKG-3a(uterine cervical epidermoid carcinoma), HeLa-S3 (uterine cervical adenocarcinoma) and HEC-59 (uterine corpus
BACKGROUND
Pyrexia associated with solid and hematogenous neoplasms are a well-recognized clinical condition. Menstrually related (catamenial) fevers have not been reported previously.
METHODS
A 52-year-old woman with a history of stage I breast cancer on adjuvant tamoxifen citrate presented with
Therapeutic effectiveness of elevated temperature is a well known issue. However raising the temperature inside the tumor sparing concurrently surrounding healthy tissue is not an easy task. Intracavitary, radiofrequency hyperthermia in uterine tumor cases allows to obtain elevated temperature in a
OBJECTIVE
A synergistic cancer cell killing effect of sub-lethal hyperthermia and chemotherapy has been reported extensively. In this study, in vitro cell culture experiments with a uterine cancer cell line (MES-SA) and its multidrug resistant (MDR) variant MES-SA/Dx5 were conducted in order to
Advanced uterine leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a rare and extremely aggressive disease. In patients with advanced and unresected uterine LMS, multidisciplinary therapy is the best treatment option, although no consensus exists on the efficacy of the treatment. The present study describes the case of a
The response of a mouse's foot to heat was studied. Transplanted syngeneic tumor, C3H mouse mammary carcinoma, was treated with irradiation and hyperthermia in a waterbath. The tumor did not disappear in any of the mice treated with radiotherapy with a dose of 20 Gy alone, but disappearance of the
Some methodological problems of the use of intracavitary UHF hyperthermia combined with intracavitary gamma-beam therapy in combined radiation therapy of uterine cancer patients are considered. Indications for the use of this method and radiobiological substantiation of thermoradiotherapy for this
Sixty-eight cases of cancer were treated by combined use of Thermotron RF-8 hyperthermia and radiotherapy, and 16 cases by combined use of hyperthermia and anti-cancer drug. The results of analysis of treatment are summarized as follows. Thermo-radiotherapy of shallow-seated tumor: Shallow-seated
Providing appropriate means for heat generation by low intratumoral nanoparticle concentrations is a major challenge for cancer nanotherapy. Here we propose RGD-tagged magnetosomes (magnetosomes@RGD) as a biogenic, genetically engineered, inorganic platform for multivalent thermal cancer treatment.
Patients with late stage gynecologic malignancies occasionally develop massive pelvic hemorrhage, and management of the hemorrhage is often difficult. Transcatheter arterial embolization with an absorbable gelatin sponge following the Seldinger method was performed to control hemorrhage in five
BACKGROUND
The leiomyomatous type of uterine sarcoma with osteoclast-type giant cell component is a rare variant of uterine tumors with poor prognosis. The histological diagnosis of these rare tumors can be problematic and only five such tumors have been published previously.
METHODS
A 54-year-old
Primary uterine non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is extremely rare accounting for <1% of all extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Imaging findings of primary uterine lymphoma have rarely been reported before. We present magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron
Clinical studies were made of 60 patients who had undergone ureterosigmoidostomy at our department. The 45 men and 15 women ranged from 35 to 73 years old, with a mean of 59.2 years. Ureterosigmoidanastomosis was performed using the modified Coffey II technique in this series. Bladder tumor was the
Cervical cancer of the uterus rarely develops systemic secondary amyloidosis. We present the case of a 66-year-old female patient who manifested systemic amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis in the kidney, digestive tract, and cervix of the uterus, secondary to cervical cancer. She exhibited nephrotic
