肿瘤热疗研究进展

肿瘤疾病的热疗安全有效、不良反应低,且与其他治疗方法如放疗、化疗等有协同作用,近年来已成为继手术、放化疗和生物治疗后的一种抗肿瘤治疗的重要辅助手段。热疗主要通过直接对肿瘤细胞产生抑制作用和热诱导的放射增敏效应来发挥提高放化疗效果的作用,故现在热疗正逐渐应用于肿瘤的综合治疗中。本文主要对肿瘤热疗在联合传统化疗、放疗、免疫治疗以及新材料中的应用和研究进展等内容进行综述。

Research progress on tumor hyperthermia

In recent years, increasing evidence has shown that hyperthermia is safe, effective and causes low toxicity. Hyperthermia can exert synergistic effect with other treatments, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It has become an important adjuvant anti-tumor treatment secondary to surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and biological treatment. Hyperthermia can improve the efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy by directly inhibiting tumor cells and heat-induced radiosensitizing effect. Hence, hyperthermia is gradually applied in the multimodality treatment of tumors. In this article, we intend to review the research progress on the application of tumor hyperthermia in conventional radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and new biomaterials.
