Interstitial hyperthermia therapy, the application of heat to control or destroy tumor tissue, is under investigation as an adjuvant treatment for recurrent intracranial malignancies. A brief review of the biologic effects and detailed information of one technique used to treat brain tumors are presented. Management of patients receiving hyperthermia is both challenging and complex. Neuroscience nurses must become knowledgeable about this form of therapy as it is more widely used in brain tumor management.
间质热疗,即应用热量来控制或破坏肿瘤组织,正作为复发性颅内恶性肿瘤的辅助治疗方法进行研究。本文简要回顾了用于治疗脑肿瘤的一种技术的生物学效应并提供了详细信息。对接受热疗的患者进行管理既具有挑战性又很复杂。神经科学护士必须了解这种治疗形式,因为它在脑肿瘤管理中的应用越来越广泛。
