METHOD FOR SELECTIVELY DESTROYING CANCER TUMOR CELLS Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves introducing ferromagnetic particles into the region occupied by the tumor followed by locally applied induction heat treatment in the temperature range of 42-45 C during the time depending on the type of tumor, its size, location and kind of ferromagnetic particles selected for carrying out induction heat treatment. The heat treatment is only applied at the moments when blood contents in tissue is reduced, that is, at the patient exhalation and heart diastole periods of time. Heating range is controlled by means of microwave frequency deep-seated thermometer. Heating is carried out in automatic mode using computer in biological control mode and applying mathematical models of tissular thermal conductivity and heat capacity oscillations, heating hysteresis and heat removal. Laser radiation is applied in addition to the heat treatment to increase selective load supplied to the cancer tumor cells at the moments of their power supply deficiency corresponding to blood circulation rhythms. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment.
