  • Title: [Effect of whole-body artificial hyperthermia on the immunity function in cancer patients].
    Author: Dzhaginian AI, Balliuzek FV.
    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 1984; 30(5):39-43. PubMed ID: 6730415.
    Abstract:
    The changes in immunologic indexes were studied in 90 cancer patients treated with artificial whole body hyperthermia and hyperglycemia. The changes of the indexes under study showed a double-phase curve after a hyperthermic session--the phase of "heat shock aftermath" involving a short-term decline in certain immunologic indexes was followed by a general improvement of immunologic vigor of cancer patients. Different components of cancer patient immunologic system reacted differently to whole body hyperthermia.
