Purpose: The pleiotropic effects of heat on cancer cells have been well documented. The
biological effects seen depend on the temperature applied, and the heating duration. In this …

Hyperthermia is a promising anticancer treatment used in combination with radiotherapy
and chemotherapy. Temperatures above 41.5° C are cytotoxic and hyperthermia treatments …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanism of ROS‐induced hyperthermic cell
death in a colon cancer cell line. HT‐29 colon cancer cells were exposed to heat (43° C) in …

The fundamental idea and the effects of heat on cancer cells are well known. However, the
results obtained in therapy by hyperthermia (HT) alone have been only partially satisfactory …

Cryotherapy, a method of in situ ablation, is used in the treatment of colorectal liver
metastases with variable results. During the treatment, the central area of treated tumor …

AIM: To observe the synergistic effects of hyperthermia in oxaliplatin-induced cytotoxicity in
human colon adenocarcinoma Lovo cells. METHODS: The human colon adenocarcinoma …

Heat has been used as a medicinal and healing modality throughout human history. The
combination of hyperthermia (HT) with radiation and anticancer agents has been used …

Hyperthermia (HT) which can be directly cytotoxic to cancer cells, impairs the synthesis of
cellular proteins: if not properly chaperoned by heat shock proteins (HSP), this can lead to …

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether proteasome inhibition
acts as a thermal sensitizing agent to induce tumor cell death in a colon cancer cell line …

Normal human diploid cells and various human tumour cells were heat shocked at 43° C for
2h and allowed to recover at 37° C. It was found that heat shock treatment transiently …
