title: [Evaluation of the effectiveness of preoperative local thermoradio- and thermochemotherapy of breast cancer using thermography].
abstract: The efficacy of combined preoperative local MWF-hyperthermia of breast cancer was difficult to assess because within a short period of treatment tumor remained clinically unchanged. At the same time it resulted in the death of cancer cells and blood flow blockade which had to be reflected in the time course of thermography during treatment. Thermography results in the course of thermoradio- and thermochemotherapy were compared in 27 patients. A decrease and blockade of blood flow in a tumor, the death of cancer cells manifested themselves in "colder" zones in a tumor area. The more pronounced the pathomorphological changes were, the lower was the temperature on thermograms in a tumor area as compared to adjacent tissues. Thermography can be used for assessment of the efficacy of hyperthermia of breast cancer.
