|
Intraperitoneal chemohyperthermia is a specific type of chemotherapy particularly effective because it combines heat effects and the localization of the intervention.
The high temperature has tumoricidal properties, favours the entering into cells of drugs and potentiates their efficacy, whereas the localization of the intervention allows the exposure of the tumor to antitumoral drugs at dosages hundred-thousand times higher than the ones utilized when given intravenously, minimizing the general undesired effects.  |
