Hyperthermia or thermotherapy is a type of cancer treatment in which body tissue is exposed to high heat, intended to damage and kill cancer cells, but without causing serious damage to normal tissue. .
1.What is combination chemotherapy and hyperthermia? Scientific name: Hyperthermia therapy in combination with chemotherapy. Common name: Hyperthermia therapy in combination with chemotherapy in cancer treatment. Preliminary technical description: Hyperthermia therapy in combination with chemotherapy in cancer treatment is therapy to increase the local temperature of solid tumors. Helps accelerate the programmed death of cancer cells, making cancer cells more sensitive to the effects of radiation and cancer chemotherapy. Increase the effectiveness of autologous supportive immunotherapy and minimize damage to healthy cells.
There are 3 types of hyperthermia: local hyperthermia, regional hyperthermia and partial body hyperthermia.
2.What disease is this technique used for? Breast cancer Esophageal cancer Cervical cancer Lung cancer Liver cancer Thyroid cancer Lower throat cancer Bladder cancer Brain cancer 3.Indications and contraindications Indications:
Supportive treatment Support chemotherapy, radiation and cancer immunotherapy methods for solid tumors. Contraindications:
Includes contraindications to chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. The heat pressure area has an open wound, or is showing signs of inflammation. Lesions are more than 2.5cm deep (with PYREXAR).

4.Advantages and disadvantages of the technique Advantages:
Complication rate: Thermotherapy is safe, does not cause burns, does not have serious complications. Treatment response rate: Increases the effectiveness of treatment by 16-34% when combined with traditional treatment methods. 5. Procedure Step 1: Check the patient's medical record. Step 2: Multi-specialty meeting to assess the patient's health. Step 3: Conduct therapy for the patient. Select a thermotherapy site with the tumor no more than 2.5cm from the skin surface. Mark the size and center of the thermobaric zone. Select the fuser size corresponding to the fuser size. Determine the temperature: from 42 to 44 degrees. Determine the duration of the course: from 45 to 60 minutes. Check sensor operation. Check the water supply system for the thermocouple, determine the tension of the water bag in accordance with the pressure position, to avoid the bag breaking. Enter patient information into the fuser. Attach the sensor heads with the appropriate number of thermobaric area sizes, the distance between the sensors is 1cm. Set the machine mode: target temperature, heat pressure time as prescribed by the doctor. Place the thermocouple head of the device into the fumigation position prescribed by your doctor. Conduct treatment, monitor and adjust the temperature on the monitor, according to the patient's vital signs and reactions. Step 4: Finish treatment. 6. Normal expression after performing the technique The patient recovered quickly. 7. When are the following manifestations of the technique abnormal and need immediate re-examination? Feeling of heat at the site of the pressure. Burns and blisters in the thermogenic area (rare). 8.Things to keep in mind when performing this technique Save and print the progress of the treatment. Remove the sensor heads from the thermobaric position. Check the hypothermic area, vital signs of the patient.
