So far, the therapeutic outcome of hyperthermia has shown heterogeneous responses depending on how thermal stress is applied. We studied whether extrinsic heating (EH, hot air) and intrinsic heating (magnetic heating [MH] mediated by nanoparticles) induce distinct effects on pancreatic cancer cells

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a highly aggressive type of cancer. Gemcitabine (GEM) is a standard chemotherapeutic treatment of advanced PC; however, it requires improvement, and more effective therapeutic methods must be further explored. In the present study, hyperthermia combined with GEM was used on

BACKGROUND Oncolytic herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) is designed to specifically infect, replicate in, and lyse cancer cells. This study investigates a novel therapeutic regimen, combining the effects of NV1066 (a recombinant HSV-1) and hyperthermia in the treatment of pancreatic

There is only marginal improvement in outcome of treating pancreatic cancer in the last two decades. Time to open up and have a fresh look at complementary adjuvant treatment options. Hyperthermia may be one such option. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) predominantly as a

Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) is a safe and efficient method of delivering a high single dose of radiation to a target. IORT has a significant effect on abdominal pain and back pain in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer, but IORT alone is not so effective in improving the prognosis.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the technical feasibility of using ultrasound-guided intratumoral radiofrequency hyperthermia (RFH) to enhance local chemotherapy of rat orthotopic pancreatic cancers. METHODS Orthotopic pancreatic cancer masses were established by inoculating luciferase/mCherry

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most common types of malignant tumor and the leading cause of cancer‑associated mortality worldwide. The chemotherapeutic drug gemcitabine (GEM) is used as a first‑line chemotherapeutic agent for advanced PC. However, the acquisition of drug resistance is a major

We investigated the effect of hyperthermia against pancreatic cancer cell in various aspects including of cytokinetics. The hyperthermia above 43 degrees C was thought to have strong effect for the studies on surviving cell number and morphological change of Capan-2 and RWP-1 cells after heating

Hyperthermia (HT) has shown feasibility and potency as an anticancer therapy. Administration of HT in the chemotherapy has previously enhanced the cytotoxicity of drugs against pancreatic cancer. However, the drugs used when conducting these studies are substantially conventional chemotherapeutic

Pancreatic cancer (PC) has the highest mortality rate amongst all other cancers in both men and women, with a one-year relative survival rate of 20%, and a five-year relative survival rate of 8% for all stages of PC combined. The Whipple procedure, or pancreaticoduodenectomy, can increase survival

Using magnetic nanoparticles to absorb alternating magnetic field energy as a method of generating localized hyperthermia has been shown to be a potential cancer treatment. This report demonstrates a system that uses tumor homing cells to actively carry iron/iron oxide nanoparticles into tumor

Many efforts are made worldwide to establish magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) as a treatment for organ-confined tumors. However, translation to clinical application hardly succeeds as it still lacks of understanding the mechanisms determining MFH cytotoxic effects. Here, we investigate the

We investigated the effect and feasibility of hyperthermia treatment on subcutaneous pancreatic cancer in female Kunming mice, using a murine pancreatic cancer cell line (MPC-83) established by us and found in this study to originate from epithelial pancreatic acinus. Magnetic fluid (MF) with
