Hypothermia is associated with reduced metabolism of tissues and especially reduced oxygen consumption by tumours. If the blood supply to a hypothermic tumour can be maintained then the hypoxic fraction of cells should be reduced and the radiation response increased. This hypothesis has been tested with radiation under hyperbaric oxygen and increased tumour response has been demonstrated.
体温过低与组织代谢降低有关,尤其是肿瘤的氧消耗减少。如果能维持对低温肿瘤的血液供应,那么细胞的缺氧部分应会减少,放射反应会增强。这一假说已在高压氧条件下进行放射测试,并已证明肿瘤反应增强。
