热疗的发展历程与展望

History and Prospects of Hyper thermia

热疗是一种历史悠久的疾病治疗方法,在中国和世界各地都有用热疗治愈疾病的历史记载。本文主要从技术、产品和临床3个方面综合回顾了现代热疗的发展历程,分析了微波、射频、超声等热疗技术的进步和磁感应热疗等新型热疗技术的出现。分析表明,目前热疗已经发展到了一个新的高度,可以实现更高的治疗温度,温度控制更精确,副作用更小,疗效更好;在肿瘤治疗领域,热疗甚至有可能成为一种新的主流治疗手段,在一些常见的良性疾病治疗方面也将得到更广泛的应用。

Hyperthermia has a long history of disease treatmentin China and around the world. There are historical records of cure of diseases using hyperthermia. This article provides a comprehensive review of the history of the modern technology of hyperthermia from three aspects： The technology, products, and clinical development, introducingvarious technologies, such as microwave hyperthermia, radio frequency, ultrasound, and new technologies such as magnetic induction hyperthermia. The current hyperthermia technology has developed to a new height, with higher treatment temperature, more precise temperature control, less side effects, and better efficacy. In the field of cancer treatment, hyperthermia may become a new mainstream treatment, and will be more widely applied in common benign disease treatment as well.
