Treatment of skin and subcutaneous cancer diseases by hyperthermic methods

Purpose: The present work pursues perfection of highly efficient anticancer, principally new methodology and technology. It deals with the comparative study of anticancer activity of controlled local hyperthermia in animals and determination-de- velopment of optimal regimes and schemes. Furthermore, it also presents the work on new clinical device of high anticancer effect. Methods: Authors used controlled local hyperthermia for this study. In our experiments, we used 3 to 3.5 months-old non-pedigree (nonlinear) white mice (mass: 18-30 gram). After mice selection for the experiments, animals were placed in vivarium, in quarantine regime for 10 to 4 days. Individual protocols were drawn for each animal. Similar feeding and handling regimes were created for all animals. Transplantable malignant cancer strain, Erlich adenocarcinoma, was used. Results: Experiments on animals were successful. There are positive conclusions of pathological-anatomy laboratory “PathGeo”: Form # IV -200- 6A, for the examination # 3119-12 and # 15/02 and macro-morphological and micro-morphological description of the study # 15272-13. On the basis of the results of morphological study, it was proved that liver and lungs (the main target bodies) were intact, and secondary cancer injuries were not fixed. After three sessions of hyperthermia treatment, the decrease in sizes of cancer formations and necrosis of diseased sections were visualized, while massive necrosis was observed after seven sessions. In all cases, necrosis and ulceration of diseased places were observed, which refers to transition of cancer into phase of healing. After eight-ten sessions, necrosis of cancer and ulceration were observed, which refers to irreversibility of the process and efficiency of the applied method of hyperthermia. Conclusion: Anticancer effect of hyperthermia conditioned by temperature fields was proved, which was expressed in inhibition of cancer growth, resorption and increase of life length of experimental animals. The method of treatment was selected with maximum anticancer effect free of side effects and was offered as a new, perspective alternative or additional means for treatment of malignant cancers
