Abstract
There is a long history of hyperthermia in oncology, but its wide range acceptance and application are missing even today. A new approach of oncological hyperthermia, oncothermia, looks promising modality of the complementary treatment of advanced malignant cases. Our present paper is targeting this method, trying to answer the question of its feasibility to treat various advanced cases in monotherapy process, as well as its applicability for a long, large number of treatment sessions protocols.
Highlights
The hyperthermia was among the very first medical treatments in human medicine, this approach has ambivalent evaluation as a therapy
Our objective in this paper is to show actual cases of how oncothermia works
Oncothermia could be applied in very severe cases, where other treatments are dubious or inapplicable
Summary
The hyperthermia was among the very first medical treatments in human medicine, this approach has ambivalent evaluation as a therapy. The various heat therapies are commonly used complementarily with natural drugs (tees, herbs, oils, aromas, etc.) or with natural radiations (sunshine, red-hot iron radiation, etc.) This popular medicine is sometimes connected with ritual, cultural, and social events (ritual hot bath cultures) or to long-time continued chronic cures (like special spa treatments, hot-spring natural drinks, etc.) These popular treatment applications of heating are types of “kitchen medicine”: the old recipes are “sure,” the patient takes it, and cured when it is done according to the auricular traditional regulations. The high blood flow delivers extra nutrients (mainly glucose) supplying the tumor as well as increases the risk of dissemination of malignant cells by the blood stream Both effects are contrary to our direct aim to destroy the cancer. (4) Are we able to handle the fatal cancer cases as chronic disease in the style of dialysis?
