Brief introduction to the method of hyperthermia treatment for gallbladder cancer

With the progress of medical research in recent years, there are still many methods for treating gallbladder cancer. Among them, hyperthermia treatment of gallbladder cancer is a very good way. The following is a brief introduction to the method of hyperthermia treatment of gallbladder cancer.

Hyperthermia is to raise the patient's body temperature to 40℃~42℃, artificially creating a "fever" environment for the human body. Under this temperature environment, cancer cells that are afraid of "heat" will be directly killed and apoptotic by high heat, and the purpose of treating gallbladder cancer can be achieved. Cancer cells that are metastatic and spread because they cannot be completely removed by conventional means such as surgery, or cannot be found by existing technical means at all, although they hide cunningly after escaping the net, they are still inevitably tracked and killed by whole-body hyperthermia combined with adjuvant chemotherapy. Secondly, whole-body hyperthermia can increase the concentration of chemotherapy drugs inside the tumor tissue to enhance the effect of chemotherapy drugs in treating gallbladder cancer, and enhance the sensitivity of cells to radiotherapy, thereby achieving the purpose of enhancing the efficacy of radiotherapy for gallbladder cancer. In addition, whole-body hyperthermia can also activate the paralyzed immune system and produce anti-tumor immunity, thereby inhibiting and killing metastatic lesions or subclinical lesions.

Another notable feature of hyperthermia is that it does not harm normal cells. Normal tissues have a rich, orderly network of blood vessels, which provide oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. While transporting carbon dioxide and metabolic waste, they can quickly take away the heat energy generated by metabolism, with high working efficiency and strong heat dissipation capacity. However, the vascular network structure of gallbladder cancer tumor tissue is abnormally twisted, uneven in thickness, and even blocked by tumor thrombus. When heated, heat accumulation is easy to occur, and the temperature is 3℃ to 7℃ higher than that of adjacent normal tissues. Gallbladder cancer tumor cells can be directly roasted to death, achieving the purpose of treating gallbladder cancer.

The above is an introduction to the method of hyperthermia treatment for gallbladder cancer. I believe everyone has some understanding of it. If you have any questions, you can contact our online experts, who will give you detailed answers.
