The German Society of Radiation Oncology issued a communique on the 19th, saying that the preliminary results of a new clinical study in Germany show that for high-risk bladder cancer, if you use electrosurgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, "three-in-one" therapy and supplemented with hyperthermia, you can improve patients. Survival rate.
Researchers from research institutes such as the University of Erlangen School of Medicine in Germany conducted clinical treatment studies on 45 patients with bladder cancer between 2003 and 2007. These patients received concurrent radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and hyperthermia after receiving an electric resection.
Preliminary results showed that the 5-year survival rate of patients receiving the above-mentioned therapy was 82%, whereas a previous study that only performed "three-in-one" treatment for patients with bladder cancer without adjuvant therapy was only 67% for 5 years. The result of survival. In addition, the “three-in-one” supplemented with hyperthermia therapy achieved a local control rate of 81% for bladder cancer during the three years, which was also significantly higher than the local control rate of only 63% of the “three-in-one” therapy. The researchers also found that the number of patients receiving hyperthermia was also significantly associated with their survival rate.
In the past, malignant bladder cancer can only be treated by completely removing the bladder, but this will seriously affect the quality of life of patients. In recent years, the medical community often uses electric resection to remove bladder tumors while retaining the bladder, and the success rate is gradually improved. The University of Erlangen School of Medicine in Germany is involved in the development of three-in-one therapy for electrosurgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy for patients with high-risk bladder cancer.
Nowadays, researchers add hyperthermia to the "three-in-one" therapy by heating the patient's bladder to 40 to 44 degrees Celsius with microwaves at the beginning of the radiotherapy. Studies have shown that such temperatures can improve the efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Meditech Medical Network
