Tumor Treatment System with Alternate Cooling and Heating - Preliminary Results in an Animal Model

摘要

To evaluate the treatment efficacy of the newly designed system with alternate cooling and heating tumor therapy, experiments were performed using the VX2 breast carcinoma model in female New Zealand rabbits. The treatment effect was verified by post CT imaging. Preliminary results showed that no metastasis and recurrence appeared in the following three months. The induced immunological response was considered of potential importance in the alternate cooling and heating treatment.
