Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignant disease affecting women's health worldwide. The benefits from conventional therapeutic modalities are severely limited. An increasing number of promising photothermal materials have been recently developed and introduced into the therapeutic regimens
Noninvasive radiofrequency-induced (RF) hyperthermia has been shown to increase the perfusion of chemotherapeutics and nanomaterials through cancer tissue in ectopic and orthotopic murine tumor models. Additionally, mild hyperthermia (37°C-45°C) has previously shown a synergistic anticancer effect
Tumor growth and metastasis are the major causes of high mortality in breast cancer. In this study, a water-responsive phospholipid-calcium-carbonate hybrid nanoparticle (PL/ACC-DOX&ICG) surface modified with a phospholipid shell is designed and covered with a shielding polymer polyethylene
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been identified in a variety of cancers and emerged as a new target for cancer therapy. CSCs are resistant to many current cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Therefore, eradication of this cell population is a primary objective in cancer
Breast cancer is the most frequent malignancy in women worldwide. Although it is commonly treated via chemotherapy, responses vary among its subtypes, some of which are relatively insensitive to chemotherapeutic drugs. Recent studies have shown that hyperthermia can enhance the effects of
Patients with irresectable locoregional recurrent breast cancer en cuirasse (BCEC) do not have effective curative treatment options. Hyperthermia, the elevation of tumor temperature to 40-45 °C, is a well-established radio- and chemotherapy sensitizer. A total of 196 patients were treated with
The number of autologous bone marrow transplants done for solid tumours, particularly breast cancer, has risen steadily over the last ten years. The role of bone marrow or peripheral blood progenitor cell purging in transplantation is incompletely understood. Theoretically, the reinfusion of
Hyperthermia has been shown to be an effective radiosensitizer. Its utility as a clinical modality has been limited by a minimally selective tumor sensitivity and the inability to be delivered in a tumor-specific manner. Recent in vivo studies (rodent and human) have shown that cancer cell-specific
We report three patients with advanced breast cancer who received hyperthermia (43 degrees C over 1 h, weekly x 4) and radiotherapy as palliative treatment for chest-wall recurrence. The case reports demonstrate situations where hyperthermia may be beneficial. These include tumours where
Of 67 patients with recurrent breast cancer accompanied by liver metastases admitted to our facility between January 1990 and August 1993, 8(12%) were found to have tumor-associated fever. We examined the characteristics of these patents. These patients had fever (over 38 degrees C) for more than
OBJECTIVE
Evaluation of efficacy and side effects of combined re-irradiation and hyperthermia electively or for subclinical disease in the management of locoregional recurrent breast cancer.
METHODS
Records of 198 patients with recurrent breast cancer treated with re-irradiation and hyperthermia
Seventeen breast cancer patients with tumor-associated fever are described. All other potential causes of fever were excluded in each patient, and it was diagnosis of exclusion. Fever was the first manifestation of recurrence in seven patients. In ten patients fever developed in association with new
We have previously demonstrated that protein kinase B (PKB) is a mediator of heat-induced apoptosis for human breast cancer cells. To investigate the therapeutic potential of abrogating the function of this important survival protein, a novel replication-deficient adenovirus was constructed, wherein
BACKGROUND
It is difficult to control non-resectable locally advanced primary and recurrent breast cancer by conventional modalities. Recently, hyperthermia (HT) has been recognized as an effective adjuvant to radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy (CT) in treatment of various malignancies, including
Local drug delivery of Doxorubicin (Dox) with thermosensitive liposomes (TSL) and hyperthermia (HT) has shown preclinically to achieve high local drug concentrations with good therapeutic efficacy. Currently, this is clinically studied for treatment of chest wall recurrence of breast cancer, however
