Focus of research

Hyperthermia (HT) research with main focus on:

1) The development of new hyperthermia techniques, for different superficial and deep-seated tumour sites. Goals are optimal 3-D steering and (non-invasive) thermometry. Existing techniques are often incapable of achieving the tumour goal temperature without overheating normal tissue. New 3-D steered hyperthermia systems are developed to overcome this problem. Use of treatment planning to improve and optimize the temperature distribution. Final step is commercialisation of equipment to achieve worldwide application of in-house developed equipment to facilitate and promote high quality application of hyperthermia.

2) Clinical research to establish the clinical benefit of hyperthermia for different tumour sites by setting up or contributing to pilot studies and randomised phase II and phase III clinical trials comparing standard radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy to radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy plus hyperthermia. Sites include breast, cervix, bladder, pancreas. Providing high level evidence is crucial for the clinical acceptance of Hyperthermia. Example. the HyperCR study for recurrent breast cancer, comparing RT+HT+/-CDDP

3) Fundamental research into the Working Mechanisms of Hyperthermia. Includes in vitro and in vivo research to optimise synergistic actions of hyperthermia and radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and development of small animal hyperthermia device to study various working mechanisms in an orthotopic small animal model (mouse) in collaboration with various Dutch institutes. This knowledge thus gained is utilised in technical design and in modifying clinical treatment schedules to optimise the synergistic actions.
