THERAPY HIPERTEMIA

Latterly we often see advertisement [in] newspaper offering " recent medication" for the cancer, one of them is use therapy hipertermia. What Sebetulnya [is] sih of that therapy hipertermia? Why the doctor at our hospital never mean it?

Therapy Hipertermia ( referred [as] also termoterapi, hereinafter we mention just just hipertermia) [is] cancer medication by heating body network reach 44o even 45oC. Researching into to prove that high temperature earn to break and kill cancer cell, with damage minimize [at] normal network. With destroying protein and also cell structure, hipertermia earn to kill cancer cell and minimize size measure tumor.

Generally hipertermia used [by] bersamaan with other;dissimilar therapy, for example adiotherapy, kemoterapi , or imunoterapi , since hipertermia earn to make more sensitive cancer cell, even earn direct break cancer cells which cannot be broken by radiasi.

There [is] a lot of used method for hipertermia. Wide Berdasar [of] area which the therapy, divisible for local hipertermia, hipertermia regional, and hipertermia totalize ( entire/all body).

Local Hipertemia

[At] local hipertermia [of] warm-up [done/conducted] [at] finite area, in this case the cancer network. heat source Used [by] for example microwave ( microwave), radiowave ( radio frequency), and sound wave of high frequency ( ultrasound).

For the cancer which located in body surface or close to husk, hot producer appliance placed [by] at elbow tumor, later;then the wave radiation pointed at [by] a area which will be heated. If cancer [of] located in in or [in] around body holes ( for example throat or anus), hot source [entered/included] [by] into [his/its] use special appliance in order to the warm-up hit home target. This technique named [by] intraluminal or endocavitary hyperthermia.

Medium [of] if tumor location far in body, for example [at] brain cancer, used [by] technique [is] interstitial. Penderita anaesthetized, then the special needle or the heater inseminated to middle [of] cancer network with guidance of appliance of ultrasonografi or CT ( computed tomography). Transmitted radiowave will heat and kill cancer cells around.

Regional Hipertemia

Hipertermia Regional aim to to heat broader body area such as entire/all arm, tungkai, body organs, and the body channels. There are some used technique. First technique for the cancer which the near by hole or as long as body channel [of] such as gracious cancer mulut/leher, obstetrical cancer, cancer contain urine, dsb. Heater placed [by] at elbow hole or in channel, later;then the hot radiation from microwave or radiowave pointed at [by] a cancer network becoming target.

Second technique that is regional perfusion, to cure cancer [in] arm and foot/feet, or in body organs [of] such as liver and lung. Its Way, partial;some patient blood [released] to be, heated, then be re-pumped into arm, foot/feet, or the the organ. This technique generally be [done/conducted] [by] bersamaan with kemoterapi.

Third technique [is] CHPP ( continuous hyperthermic peritoneal perfusion), used to cure cancer in stomach cavity [of] such as peritoneal mesothelioma. Selama Surgery, medicinize kemoterapi heated later;then be conducted [by] into stomach cavity, so that [his/its] temperature reach 41,1-42,2oC.

Total Hipertemia

For the cancer [of] bermetastase ( disseminating) to entire/all body, [done/conducted] [by] total hipertermia ( whole body hyperthermia). Penderita blanketed with electric blanket or hot water, or [entered/included] [by] into hot space ( a kind of incubator) to make [his/its] body temperature mount until 41,7-43,8oC.

therapy Hipertermia proven to [by] earn to improve effectiveness of radiotherapy and also kemoterapi. Banyak Location which can be reached, for example cancer [in] head and neck, bosom cancer, lung, liver, stomach cavity, gracious neck, intestine, obstetrical, prostate, husk, bone. type of Therapy cancer which can even also kinds of, from adenocarcinoma, melanoma, carcinoma, thymoma, mesothelioma, lymphoma, sarcoma, squamous cell, basa cell.

effectiveness of medication Hipertermia [of] depend on how far the improved success body temperature, how long succeed defended, besides also depend on characteristic of cell and network which therapy. During [his/its] temperature therapy non-stoped [by] a watcher use mini thermometer, in order to temperature of the desired earn reached [by] but [is] not skipped over. This brand heat defended [by] during one clock.

Side Effects of Hipertermia

therapy Hipertermia [of] generally [do] not cause damage of network normal/sehat [of] if [his/its] temperature [do] not exceed 43,8oC. But difference of network character earn to generate difference of temperature or side effects [of] [at] body network which different each other. What often be happened [by] [is] feeling heat ( such as burnted), swelling to contain dilution ( mlenthung - Jw), is not be balmy, ill even.

technique Perfusi earn to cause pembengkakan network, blood cloting, perdarahan, or the other;dissimilar trouble [in] area which therapy. But this side effects [is] tentative. medium of whole body Hyperthermia earn to generate more serious side effects - but seldom be happened- such as heart disparity and venous. Sometime the side effects which emerge oppositely;also the diarrhoea, queasy, or vomit.
