[Local hyperthermia by means of ballon-type electrodes in combined therapy of patients with locally spread cancer of the mouth mucosa and lower lip].
Modification of the standard chemo- and radiotherapy with local hyperthermia gives evident positive results in treatment of patients with local cancer of tunica mucosa of mouth and lower lip. Since this area having uneven complex surface needs to develop radiofrequency emitting special applicators. We have used catheters with ballons filled with hypertonic solution as electrodes to adapt the mouth cavity. An electric field creating between these ballons and high surface adjustability makes this system come in useful.
