[Role of nonspecific factors in the therapeutic action of general hyperthermia in oncologic diseases].

A study was made of the indices of hemodynamics, the immune status and thiol-disulfide system of the blood of cancer patients subjected to artificial total hyperthermia-hyperglycemia. The authors revealed the phase nature of the body response to total hyperthermia resulting in stimulation of the body adaptation mechanisms with a tendency to the normalization of disturbed homeostatic parameters. The effect of total hyperthermia in cancer therapy depended not only on the factor of selective temperature damage of tumor cells but also on the competence of the system of nonspecific body resistance.
