Relationship between Energy Dosage and Apoptotic Cell Death by Modulated Electro-Hyperthermia

Modulated electro-hyperthermia (mEHT) is a form of mild hyperthermia (HT) used for cancer treatment. The principle utility of HT is the ability not only to increase cell temperature, but also to increase blood flow and associated pO 2 to the microenvironment. While investigational evidence has shown the unique ability of mEHT to elicit apoptosis in cancer cells, in vivo and in vitro , the same trait has not been observed with conventional HT....
