Abstract:
Thermotherapy is one of the combined therapies of malignant tumor. It can enhance the sen-sitivity to radiotherapy by inhibiting cell DNA repair,changing cell signaling, modulating cell cycle checkpoint and inhibiting tumor cell metastasis. Many clinical trials have also confirmed that the combination of thermother-apy and radiotherapy can enhance the curative effect of head and neck,ventrum and pelvic malignant tumor. In this article,the synergistic effects and mechanism of tumor thermoradiotherapy are reviewed.
