What are the main advantages of thermotherapy for tumor treatment?

Surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the three major conventional means of tumor treatment. After years of clinical experience, experts in tumor health care have pioneered the tumor green comprehensive therapy on the basis of conventional treatment, which has led many tumor patients to recovery. In this paper, the combination of thermotherapy makes a detailed explanation on the treatment of tumor. Combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, thermotherapy has a strong synergistic effect, and dramatic efficacy often occurs in the treatment of malignant tumors. A large number of clinical researches at home and abroad have confirmed that combined with thermotherapy, the dose of radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be reduced by at least one-third, which reduces the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. For some tumors with poor sensitivity to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, after combined thermotherapy, the tumor disappears or most of them disappear. For some advanced cancers which cannot be operated and radiotherapy and chemotherapy are invalid, the tumor shrinks and adhesion is reduced after thermotherapy, and the lesion can be completely removed. 1. The mechanism of killing cancer cells by high-frequency thermotherapy machine High heat makes the membrane of cancer cells damaged firstly, and at the same time, high heat inhibits the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), new sugar ribonucleic acid (RNA) and protein, which results in the inhibition of proliferation of cancer cells, leading to the death of cancer cells. High heat increases the activity of lysosomes in cancer cells and accelerates the death of cancer cells. High heat inhibits the respiration of cancer cells, leading to the increase of anaerobic glycolysis and the increase of lactic acid, and the increase of acidity promotes the increase of lysosomal enzyme activity, which ultimately leads to the death of cancer cells. High heat enhances the immune function of normal cells and promotes the death of cancer cells. 2. Advantages of heat therapy in the treatment of malignant tumors Wide range of indications: all kinds of middle and late-stage solid tumors can be treated; no toxic side effects, no complications; non-invasive, painless, easy to be accepted by the patients; 3. S-phase cells, which are resistant to radiation by heat therapy and radiotherapy, are sensitive to heat. The faster the cell division of the tumor, the more sensitive to high heat. Tumors in chronic oxygen deficiency, malnutrition and low pH environment are sensitive to high heat and poorly sensitive to radiation. Hyperthermia interferes with the repair of sub-lethal cells by radiation, so the dose of radiotherapy can be reduced without affecting the effect of radiotherapy. Radiotherapy inhibits immune response, while heat therapy is the opposite.4. The mechanism of drug sensitization caused by heat therapy and chemotherapy includes: promoting the drugs to approach the target cells, changing the permeability of the cell membrane, increasing the entry of chemotherapeutic drugs into the cells, enhancing the chemical reaction, enhancing the DNA damage, and affecting the repair of DNA damage. Combined application of hyperthermia and drugs has directional synergistic therapeutic effect on tumors to achieve the effect that the original drug dose can not reach, which not only reduces the side effects, but also improves the therapeutic effect. Hyperthermia can prevent or eliminate the occurrence of drug resistance, even if there is already drug resistance, the same amount of drugs can still be effective with the combined application of hyperthermia. 5. Indications of radiofrequency thermotherapy At present, radiofrequency thermotherapy is the best therapeutic effect, easy to use and technologically advanced thermotherapy machine for treating deep tumors. It is suitable for treating various tumors in thorax, abdomen and pelvis, such as primary and metastatic lung cancer, breast cancer, mediastinal tumor, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, primary and metastatic liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer and various types of sarcomas. It is especially effective in the treatment of intractable pain of advanced cancer and carcinomatous pleural fluid and ascites.
