放热疗联用的临床研究进展

1989年被美国FDA认证为第五大肿瘤治疗手段以来,热疗一直是肿瘤治疗方法中的一研究热点。已有临床前期及临床研究充分肯定了热疗的放疗增敏作用,本文基于临床证据就放热疗联用的研究进展做出综述,着重从治疗温度、热疗的次数及间隔时间、放热疗之间的间隔时间与时序等角度,分析讨论了热疗和放疗联用过程中的各类问题。该综述介绍了放热疗结合应用的进展与展望,为进一步进行放热疗联用的临床探索提供了参考。

Progress on clinical research of hyperthermia combined with radiation therapy

Hyperthermia has been a research hot spot since it was approved by FDA as one of the 5 major therapeutic modalities for tumor since 1989. Pre-clinicaland clinical researches have confirmed the prominent radiosensitizing effect of hyperthermia. In this article, the research progress on hyperthermia combined with radiation therapy was summarized based upon clinical evidence. The challenges and issues during the procedure of hyperthermia combined with radiation therapy were analyzed from the perspectives of treatment temperature, frequency and interval time of hyperthermia, interval time and time sequence between hyperthermia and radiation therapy, etc. Besides, the application progress and prospect of hyperthermia combined with radiation therapy were reviewed, aiming to provide clinical evidence for the combination of hyperthermia and radiation therapy.
