Local hyperthermia in head and neck cancer: mechanism, application and advance

Abstract: Local hyperthermia (HT), particularly in conjunction with surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy was useful for the treatment of human malignant tumors including head and neck cancer. However, at present it suffered from many limitations such as thermal dose control, target treatment regions and discrimination between healthy and cancer cells. Recent developments in nanotechnology have introduced novel and smart therapeutic nanomaterials to local HT of head and neck cancer that basically take advantage of vari… Show more

“…Photothermal therapy is based on the resonant photon energy absorbed with light irradiation, resulting in the rapid 7 BioMed Research International generation of heat on the surface of the nanoparticles, which damages and destroys cancer cells. The therapeutic strategy of PTT with nanoparticles provides localized, targeted heating and cytotoxic treatment which can potentially offer more functional and aesthetic results [2,26,27]. ANS have an absorption in the NIR region; however, most biological tissues lack NIR-absorbing chemophores [10,26].…”

“…Photothermal therapy (PTT), a type of photo-based therapy, has been developed for the eradication of cancer cells in the primary tumor and the initial stage of cancer metastasis. PTT can also be combined with current therapies to improve their therapeutic outcomes [1][2][3][4]. The therapeutic efficacy of PTT depends on the transformation of light to sufficient heat with photothermal agents such as metal nanostructures, nanocarbons, and organic agents [1].…”

“…The treatment process is accompanied with temperature measurement that can vary from invasive methods using thermometry devices to non-invasive techniques using Magnetic Resonance Imaging ( MRI) or Computed Tomography (CT). The key to the success of the treatment is the control of the injected power and an excellent location and setting of the heating source following the Hyperthermia Treatment Planning (HTP) [32,38].…”

“…For SPT, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by the phototherapeutic agents would clear the heat immunity of the cancer cells . In parallel, the heat produced by the phototherapeutic agents could kill the surviving cancer cells due to the hypoxia of tumor . Thus, SPT could exhibit the synergistic effect of “1 + 1 > 2” in theory.…”
