Article Abstract
Background And Objectives: In this study, we evaluated the impact of hyperthermia in photosensitizing efficacy of 3-[(1'-hexyloxy)ethyl-3-devinylpyropheophorbide-a (HPPH or Photochlor) for the treatment of cancer by photodynamic therapy (PDT).
Study Design/materials And Methods: The outcome of both whole body hyperthermia (WBH) and local hyperthermia (LH) in combination with HPPH-PDT was determined in BALB/c and nude mice bearing Colon26 and U87 tumors, respectively. LH was performed by using an indigenously designed heating device, that was heated to the required temperature using a circulating water bath. The device which has flexible membrane on one side was placed on skin above the tumor. The temperature of the tumor was monitored using a thermocouple sensor placed on the surface of the tumor capable of measuring the temperature within 0.1°C. Uptake of the photosensitizer in tumors was determined by fluorescence using an IVIS or a Nuance Imaging System. The PDT was performed by exposing the tumors to 665 nm laser loght, (135 J/cm , 75 mW/cm ) at the maximal uptake time of HPPH. Tumor size was measured daily using vernier calipers.
Results: The improved PDT efficacy (long-term percentage tumor cure) in combination with hyperthermia is possible due to an increase in tumor-uptake of the photosensitizer (PS), confirmed by in vivo fluorescence imaging and also by increased tumor perfusion and decreased hypoxia as have been reported previously (Sen et al. [2011] Cancer Res. 71:3872-3880 In Vivo. 20:689-695). Interestingly, compared to whole body hyperthermia, the C- HPPH biodistribution data under local hyperthermia showed similar tumor-uptake in BALB/c mice bearing Colon26 tumors, but significantly lower uptake in other organs and in the blood.
Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that both, fever range whole body and local hyperthermia in combination with HPPH-PDT enhances the long-term tumor cure of BALB/c and nude mice implanted with Colon26 and U87 tumors respectively. Lasers Surg. Med. 50:506-512, 2018. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Aim: This research aimed to evaluate the long-term survival rates and relapse-free status of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with peritoneal metastases who underwent cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). The data are expected to provide valuable insights for determining therapeutic options for these patients.

Background And Purpose: Radiotherapy induces tumor cell killing by generating DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). The effectiveness of radiotherapy is significantly influenced by the repair of DSBs, which counteracts this lethal effect. Current investigations are focused on determining whether non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination is the predominant repair pathway following proton and photon radiation.

Background: The lymphatic system is the major route of cancer metastasis, and sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) are the first station for the spread of cancer cells. Accurate identification of SLNs by tracers during surgery is crucial for SLN biopsy and lymphadenectomy. However, conventional monomodal tracers such as blue dyes and carbon nanoparticles often induce a misjudgment of SLNs and thus are still unsatisfying for clinical applications.
