Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that trans-catheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) with warmed anticancer drug had higher antitumor effect than TACE with non-warmed anticancer drug. In the animal experiments, TACE with anticancer drug warmed to 45℃ showed higher antitumor effect as compared to TACE with non-warmed anticancer drug at normal temperature (25℃). In addition, it was suggested that no serious liver dysfunction was observed in TACE using warmed anticancer drug.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

肝動脈化学塞栓療法(TACE)と温熱療法を融合した治療法である「加温抗癌剤を用いたTACE」は、TACEが有する特徴・特性を利用することにより、温熱療法における問題点を補完することが可能であり、それぞれの治療法が有する抗腫瘍効果を単純に合わせた治療効果が得られるのみならず、相補的な作用により既存のTACE、温熱療法よりも著しく高い抗腫瘍効果を有する革新的な治療法となる可能性がある。本研究は癌治療の発展のために有益な研究である。
