Cureus | Efficacy of Metabolically Supported Chemotherapy Combined with Ketogenic Diet,... - 1 views

  •  
    Asking questions that challenge dogma is difficult.  This individual case study just does that.  Case study finds that ketogenic diet, hyperthermic therapy, and hyperbaric oxygen reduce the side effects of chemo, improved quality of life, and at the time of the publication, remission of disease.

Effect of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Plus Regional Hyperthermia on Long-term Outcomes Amo... - 0 views

  • Heat exposure (40 °C to 43 °C) of cancer cells in preclinical studies, and hyperthermia regionally applied to patients in early randomized clinical studies, have shown synergistic activity with ionizing radiation and chemotherapy
  • For the combination of hyperthermia with chemotherapy, the study group at Munich7 was the first to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of regional hyperthermia (RHT) in patients with high-risk sarcoma.

Therapeutic hyperthermia: The old, the new, and the upcoming - Critical Reviews in Onco... - 1 views

  • not well understood, but it is felt to be a combination of both heat-induced necrosis and of protein inactivation (e.g., repair enzymes) as opposed to DNA damage
  • alterations in tumor cytoskeletal and membrane structures, which disrupt cell motility and intracellular signal transduction
  • A common explanation for HT-enhancement of RT and CT involves inhibition of homologous recombination repair of double-strand DNA breaks, preventing cells from repairing sub-lethal damage

  • it does appear to inhibit rejoining of RT-induced DNA breaks more than is commonly observed after RT alone
  • HT damages cells and enhances RT and CT sensitivity as a function of both temperature and duration of treatment
  • as temperature or duration increase, the rate of cell killing also increases
  • At temperatures above 42 °C, tumor vasculature is damaged, resulting in decreased blood flow
  • Cancer cells are particularly vulnerable to heating; in vivo studies have shown that temperatures in the range of 40–44 °C cause more selective damage to tumor cells
  • cancerous blood vessels are chaotic, leaky, and inefficient
  • selective cytotoxic effect on tumor cells include inhibition of key cancer cell-signaling pathways such as AKT, inducing apoptosis, suppression of cancer stem cell proliferation, and others
  • increase in immunological attacks against tumors after HT, which were believed to be achieved through activation of HSPs and subsequent modulation of the innate and adaptive immune responses against tumor cells
  • HT does lead to activation of the immune system and HSP-induced cell death through modification of the tumor cell surface
  • These HSPs and tumor antigens are taken up by dendritic cells and macrophages and go on to induce specific anti-tumor immunity
  • In vivo studies demonstrate HT-enhancement of NK cell activity, and HT has been shown to increase neutrophilic granulocytes with anti-tumor activity
  • it has become increasingly clear that HT results in immune stimulation, through both direct heat-mediated cell killing as well as innate and adaptive immune system modulation
  • The term hyperthermia is used in this review to refer to heating within the clinically accepted range of 40–45 °C
  • temperatures above 42.5–43 °C the exposure time can be halved with each 1 °C increase while maintaining equivalent cell killing
  • gradual heating at 43 °C for 1 h worked through an apoptotic pathway

Hyperthermia and Chemotherapy - Holland-Frei Cancer Medicine - NCBI Bookshelf - 0 views

  •  
    Brief review from book on severe hyperthermia and chemotherapy: The mechanisms that underlie the synergy may include (1) increased cellular uptake of drug, (2) increased oxygen radical production, and (3) increased DNA damage and inhibition of repair; potential use of HT with many drugs is its ability to reverse, at least partially, drug resistance
