MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
Physicians and biologists here present their experimental work in the field of hyperthermia, paying particular regard to its relevance in clinical situations. Principles of heat action and combined treatment modalities are explicated. The main topics discussed are the effects of such treatment on normal tissues, animal tumors, malignant cell lines and human tumors.
Contents:
Modification of Heat Action and Thermal Enhancement of Radio- and Chemotherapy.- Hyperthermic Toxicity and the Modulation of Heat Damage to Cell Protein Synthesis in HeLa Cells.- Membranes as Targets for Hyperthermic Cell Killing.- Sulfhydryl Compounds as Thermosensitizers.- Therapeutic Benefit from Combined Heat and Radiation.- Correlation Between Polymerase ?
