Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed the feasibility and safety of a new cancer treatment method called whole-body hyperthermia pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (WBH-PIPAC) in patients with peritoneal surface malignancies.
- - Researchers reviewed data from 28 patients who underwent one cycle of traditional PIPAC before receiving multiple WBH-PIPAC treatments, finding no significant side effects from the hyperthermia process.
- - Results showed that while there were minor postoperative complications in some patients, the overall safety and effectiveness of WBH-PIPAC were similar to that of conventional PIPAC treatments.
Heat treatment or hyperthermia is a promising therapy for many diseases, especially cancer, and can be traced back thousands of years. Despite its long history, little is known about the cellular and molecular effects of heat on human cells. Therefore, we investigated the impact of water-filtered infrared-A (wIRA) irradiation (39 °C, 60 min) on key cellular mechanisms, namely autophagy, mitochondrial function and mRNA expression, in human fibroblasts and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from healthy donors and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) patients.
