Induced Hyperthermia (Thermotherapy)

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.
Also Known As:
Thermotherapy; Hyperthermia, Induced; Therapeutic Hyperthermia; Therapy, Fever; Local Hyperthermia; Fever Therapy; Hyperthermia, Local; Hyperthermia, Therapeutic

10/10/2015 - "When combined with thermotherapy, the smart nanocarrier system held significant promise for future cancer treatment for their markedly improved therapeutic efficacy and decreased systemic toxicity. "
01/01/2012 - "These results suggested that a trimodality approach of radiation, ATO, and local hyperthermia may have potent therapeutic efficacy against solid tumors. "
07/01/2010 - "These results suggest that TiO(2) NTs can be used effectively as therapeutic agents for cancer thermotherapy due to their excellent photothermal properties and high biocompatibility."
07/01/2014 - "In addition, the distribution and content of Mg-NPs produced significant impact on thermotherapy: (1) The adjustable parameter σ in the Gaussian-like distribution could reflect various practical situations and diffusivities of Mg-NPs; (2) under the premise of the same concentration of Mg-NPs and short time to heat a small-sized target, the whole liver tumor containing Mg-NPs could not improve the efficiency as the nanoparticles limited the photons to be absorbed only around the fibers, while liver tumor partially containing Mg-NPs could improve the thermotherapy efficiency up to 20 %; and (3) the addition of Mg-NPs was rather beneficial for realizing a conformal heating as the residual thermal energy was much less than that without Mg-NPs.
