Enhanced tumour regression in a patient of liposarcoma treated with radiotherapy and hyperthermia: Hint for dynamic immunomodulation by hyperthermia

, , , , , , , & show all

Figures & data

Figure 1. (A) Pretreatment MRI of the tumour having a dimension of 20 × 7 × 5 cm. (B) The cranial part treated with radiotherapy alone had a regression of 65% compared to 85% on the caudal part treated with thermoradiotherapy.

Figure 2. (A) Resected tumour with insets showing the histopathology of the proximal part treated with radiotherapy alone and the distal part treated with thermotherapy. A relatively increased cellular infiltration in the part treated with hyperthermia could be noted. (B) Immunohistochemistry photomicrographs for CD4 (a, b), CD68 (c, d). The immunohistochemistry from the part treated with radiotherapy alone is depicted in panels a and c, while b and d are from the parts treated with thermoradiotherapy.
