Benefits of technology

The treatment described in this patent can significantly reduce the risk for getting burnt, having too much skin exposed to high temperatures, feeling too cool, or accidentally damaging body parts with excessive heat.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent text is the need for a more effective and safe cancer treatment method that targets only the cancerous region of the body, while avoiding harmful side effects and reducing the amount of expensive chemotherapy agents required. The existing methods, such as hot water wraps, microwave energy, and catheter-based systems, have significant deficiencies in terms of patient safety, treatment efficacy, and cost. The patent proposes a new approach that overcomes these shortcomings.

Embodiment Construction

Low Temperature Hyperthermia

[0041]The combination of Low Temperature Hyperthermia with ionizing radiation and / or chemotherapy has the potential for increasing the effectiveness of cancer treatments by 2-4 times, as noted above, while lowering the level of required radiation or chemotherapy medicine. One additional benefit of Low Temperature Hyperthermia is re-oxygenation, where the level of oxygen in the tumorous regions is greatly increased. This is highly stressful to cancer and cancer stem cells in particular, which most decidedly prefer a hypoxic environment. Other significant biological benefits accrue when cancer is kept at a Low Temperature Hyperthermia state; acute acidification and reduction of Heat Shock Protein release (HSP). Other benefits accrue since ionizing radiation and Low Temperature Hyperthermia each affect different phases of the cellular reproductive process, M and S.

[0042]From the body ambient temperature of 37° C. to a target temperature of between 42° C. and...

Abstract

The Body Cavity Cancer Treatment Apparatus generates the magnetic field for use in a combined “Low Temperature Hyperthermia” and ionizing radiation and/or chemotherapy cancer treatment protocol. Unlike other competing systems, the Body Cavity Cancer Treatment Apparatus does not directly kill or ablate the cancer cells with killing temperatures rather, the Body Cavity Cancer Treatment Apparatus stresses the cancer and cancer stem cells by keeping them at a nominal 42° Celsius for some period of time via the heating of nano-particles that have been infused into the bladder, using the generated magnetic field.
