將電磁波高溫熱療法結合化學療法應用於癌症治療

Combining Hyperthermia by Using Electromagnetic Waves with Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Cancer

電磁波加熱設備能加熱人體內部細胞，進而消滅體內的癌細胞，或者與系統性化學療法配合，透過協同效果，而達到更好的療效。儘管如此，擬用體外電磁波源透過無創的方式聚焦能量於癌病灶，在燒滅癌細胞的同時，傷害最小部分的健康細胞，需要跨領域的專業知識。本文對此進行介紹，以期更多專業人員投入此一領域，造福癌症患者。 The heating systems by using electromagnetic wave can heat the cells inside human body, and thus are capable of destroying the cancerous cells. In addition, they can be simultaneously used with systemic chemotherapy to noninvasively accomplish better therapeutic effects by synergic effects. Nevertheless, it requires multidisciplinary professional knowledge to be capable of focusing electromagnetic energy on cancerous site by external energy sources, so that minimal portion of healthy cells is damaged while the cancerous site is destroyed. This article introduced these required knowledge with the hope that more professionals would participate in this area and thus benefit the patients having cancer.
