Investigates combined hyperthermia, cisplatin, and radiation effects in lung carcinoma, suggesting significant treatment benefits.
The effect of trimodality treatment consisting of hyperthermia, cisplatin and radiation was investigated in two non-small lung carcinoma cell lines with different sensitivities to cisplatin. Hyperthermia treatment was performed using heat released via Neél and Brown relaxation of magnetic nanoparticles in an alternating magnetic field. Radiation with dose 1.5 Gy was performed after 15 min electromagnetic hyperthermia and cisplatin treatment. Electromagnetic hyperthermia enhanced cisplatin-induced radiosensitization in both the cisplatin-sensitive H460 (viability 11.2 ± 1.8 %) and cisplatin-resistant A549 (viability 14.5 ± 2.3 %) lung carcinoma cell line. Proposed nanotechnology based trimodality cancer treatment may have therefore important clinical applications.
