[Combination treatment of cancer of the stomach using preoperative telegammatherapy in combination with local SHF-hyperthermia]. / Kombinirovannoe lechenie raka zheludka s predoperatsionnoi telegammaterapiei v sochetanii s lokal'noi SVCh-gipertermiei.

The immediate and long-term results of treatment of 178 patients with gastric cancer, who underwent before surgery intensive telegammatherapy in combination with local SHF-hyperthermia, and without it, were studied. The total focal dosage was 20 Gy, temperature on the surface of a tumour reached 41-43 degrees C. At the late period, the increase in survival of the patients, who had no lesions of the regional lymphatic nodes was noted. In patients with regional metastases, the reverse effect was observed.

[Temperature distribution in normal and tumor tissues of animals subjected to local SHF-hyperthermia]. / Raspredelenie temperatur v normal'nykh i opukholevykh tkaniakh zhivotnykh pri lokal'noi SVCh-gipertermii.

Temperature gradients are studied in normal and tumour tissues of animals under different duration of treatment (6-30 min) with microwave field which has a frequency of 460 MHz and 40 W power range. It is shown that in animal muscles and tumours an increase in the temperature is directly dependent on the time of microwave heating, the maximum temperatures being obtained in the depth of tissues, while there is no overheating in subcutaneous fatty tissues.
