Effects of hyperthermochemoradiotherapy on KSE-1 cells, a newly established human squamous cell line derived from esophageal carcinoma.
EUROPEAN SURGICAL RESEARCH(1989)
Abstract
Hyperthermia alone inhibits growth of the human esophageal cancer cell line (KSE-1). Even temporary exposure to hyperthermia results in substantial decreases in growth in a time- and temperature-dependent manner. A precipitous decrease in growth occurred at a temperature of approximately 42.5 degrees C. Concomitant application of hyperthermia, bleomycin and irradiation (hyperthermochemoradiotherapy, HCR) had a maximal effect on cell growth, compared to findings in cells treated with only one or two of these modalities. Fractionated hyperthermia (42 degrees C, 60 min) at a time interval of under 12 h was less effective than a single application (42 degrees C, 120 min). However, over a 12-hour time interval, the effects of both treatments were similar. Fractionated HCR (hyperthermia: 42 degrees C, 60 min; chemotherapy: 2 micrograms/ml of bleomycin, 60 min; radiotherapy: 2 Gy) at a time interval of under 21 h was less effective than a single HCR (hyperthermia: 42 degrees C, 120 min; chemotherapy: 2 micrograms/ml of bleomycin, 120 min; radiotherapy: 4 Gy). We conclude that care should be taken regarding development of thermotolerance when combined modality therapy is given.
