Cancer is one of the most important health issues, which is the second leading cause of
death in the world. Conventional cancer therapy methods encounter with serious drawbacks …

There are great differences in heat sensitivity between different cell types and tissues.
However, for an isoeffefct induced in a specific cell type or tissue by heating for different …

The goal of this review is to provide a brief introduction to the effects of hyperthermia on
cellular structures and physiology. The review focuses on the effects of hyperthermia thought …

Thermal therapy is widely known and electromagnetic (EM) energy, ultrasonic waves, and
other thermal-conduction-based devices have been used as heating sources. In particular …

Radiotherapy is used to treat approximately 50% of all cancer patients, with varying success.
Radiation therapy has become an integral part of modern treatment strategies for many …

In mammalian cells, short-term (acute) exposure to a moderate heat shock leads to a
transient arrest of cells at mainly two cell cycle checkpoints, the G1/S and G2/M transitions …

Local hyperthermia is an effective treatment modality to augment radio-and chemotherapy-
based anti-cancer treatments. Although the effect of hyperthermia is pleotropic, recent …

From cell phones to treating cancer, EM energy plays a part in many of the innovations that
we take for granted everyday. A basic force of nature, like nuclear energy or gravity, this …

Baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells were heated at temperatures in the range of 43.5° C to
57.0° C to determine the time-temperature relationship of cell killing. The cells were grown …

In this lecture, I shall discuss some of the things we have learned about the action of
hyperthermia on mammalian cells, and I shall mention many problems that main along with …
