高温杀死肿瘤已是常见的医疗手段,日本的Toshiba公司又找到了办法来大大提高它的疗效。该疗法使用超声波加热装置与温度成像仪配套以将热度集中于肿瘤,从而避免在杀死肿瘤的同时伤害周围的健康组织。任何活组织遇到6℃以上的高温都会变性。肿瘤在高温加热后就会自行分解并被身体吸收。但迄今为止,由于医生无法确定在热疗过程中高温对肿瘤周围的组织造成伤害 The killing of tumors by high temperatures is a common medical treatment. Japan’s Toshiba Company has found a way to greatly improve its efficacy. The therapy uses an ultrasound heating device in conjunction with a temperature imager to focus the heat on the tumor, thereby avoiding harming the surrounding healthy tissue while killing the tumor. Any living tissue will denature at high temperatures above 6°C. After the tumor is heated at high temperatures, it will break down and be absorbed by the body. But so far, doctors cannot be sure that high temperatures cause damage to the tissues around the tumor during hyperthermia
