Abstract:
In recent years, increasing evidence has shown that hyperthermia is safe, effective and causes low toxicity. Hyperthermia can exert synergistic effect with other treatments, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It has become an important adjuvant anti-tumor treatment secondary to surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and biological treatment. Hyperthermia can improve the efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy by directly inhibiting tumor cells and heat-induced radiosensitizing effect. Hence, hyperthermia is gradually applied in the multimodality treatment of tumors. In this article, we intend to review the research progress on the application of tumor hyperthermia in conventional radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and new biomaterials.
