[Infusion therapy in sessions of general artificial hyperthermia using large doses of insulin in cancer patients].

A scheme of infusion correction of water-electrolyte shifts occurring during general artificial hyperthermia sessions (rectal t degrees-40-42 degrees C) employing large insulin doses (100-1120 U) in cancer patients has been suggested. The infusion therapy according to the technique described was used during 103 general artificial hyperthermia sessions in 58 patients. This made it possible to maintain physiologically normal blood plasma levels of glucose, Na+, K+, calcium, inorganic phosphates, normal acid-base balance, adequate hydration and circulating blood volume.

[Whole-body artificial controlled hyperthermia and hyperglycemia in the combined treatment of metastatic kidney cancer].

The attempt of treatment for metastatic renal cancer has not been a success as all the methods known failed to produce any significant effect on the development of metastases. So the search for the means which could potentiate the antitumor activity of the drugs or radiation therapy is still a problem. Various physicochemical methods, including hyperthermia and hyperglycemia, have been used as modifiers of tumor cell responses. When properly employed, hyperthermia and hyperglycemia can produce an antitumor effect. However, their ability to selectively potentiate radiation or chemotherapy is more valuable. A total of 25 patients with renal cell carcinoma and multiple metastases have undergone a comprehensive treatment: radiation therapy for metastases at the total dosage of 60 Gr after removal of the primary tumor. The session of hyperthermia and hyperglycemia was performed in the course of the radiation therapy. During the session chemotherapeutic agents were administered in a half-course dosage. The second part of the radiation therapy was continued after the session. The treatment course included 5 sessions and lasted 12 months. An immediate stabilization of the health status was recorded in all the patients. Some of them had the total or partial regression of metastases. Yet since the follow-up time was not long the authors could make no conclusions.

[Antiarrhythmic therapy in extreme conditions of artificial whole-body hyperthermia and artificial hyperglycemia in cancer patients].

It has been shown that sessions of total body hyperthermia (rectal temperature - 40.0-41.8 degrees C) and artificial hyperglycemia (22-23 mmol/l) in combination with chemotherapy in cancer patients with severe cardiac arrhythmias should follow antiarrhythmic pretreatment and should be accompanied by injections of lidocaine and lidocaine combined with amiodarone, that in most cases prevent or arrest life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias.
