Thermoradiotherapy and Thermochemotherapy: Biology, Physiology, Physics: 1 (Medical Radiology)

We have theoretically deduced by very general conditions that the cell destruction reaction rate fulfils the Arrhenius-law. In accordance with this, we are going to show that under certain conditions the Separeto-Dewey empirical formula can be deduced from the Arrhenius-law. Let us start from the isothermal cell destruction of 43oC. Then, the number of destructed cells during t time will be as follows. Let us take another isothermal treatment of temperature T and examine the section of the same slope of Arrhenius-graph. Of course, it is quite complicated in the practice as the slope depends on the conditions of pre-treatment.

As the process is isothermal, we might define the same death rate for the other temperature: As this is a very small value, the applied approximation is good. The approximation is not so good if we compare two treatments for which the slope of Arrhenius-graph is different we should not forget that these in-vitro examinations have not got any in-vivo dynamics. This expression is formally corresponding with the equivalent treatment time derived from the empirical dose.

So if the energy taken to the activation and distortion is neglected, the energy- and empirical-doses are identical and the parameters have to fulfil the following condition:. This means that the present non-equilibrium thermodynamics describes well the given processes. Also it seems that the present energy dose is more general, it can consider the memory effects of the actual processes and with this fits better to the reality.

It is interesting to observe the changes caused by the different factors pH, low glucose level, thermo-tolerance: The slope of the lower section of Arrhenius-graph the section belonging to the higher temperature will be approximately identical with the slope of the section belonging to the lower temperature. The A proportionality factor changes in the equation In accordance with the above deduction, both effects influence the accuracy of the empirical formula Regarding the qualitative effect, the jump in the survival graph - which can be observed as a function of treatment time and shows significant deviations for the treatments of different temperatures [85] - will lessen.

Additional problem is that in the case of hyperthermia treatment the target temperature is obtained from the solution of Pennes-equation. In this case the temperature distribution is calculated numerically and from this we get the T 90 temperature and the CEM43oC T 90 dose. To verify the temperature the non-invasive MRI measurement is in use, [86] , [87] for what presenting the physiological effects e.

In consequence of the above, the form of the heat-conduction equation Pennes- or Pennes-like-equation affects the definition and the definability of the adequate dose. The original Pennes equation does not describe the reality well, does not consider the energy heat consumed by the cell-distortion processes. This cell-disruption however is the main goal of the entire process.

Due to the missing energy, the dose calculated from the Pennes equation is always higher than the reality. The difference between the temperatures calculated from the Pennes equation TP and the temperature derived from our present work could be calculated by perturbation theory as a simples approach. This could be accurate in the case, when the energy intake by the cell-disruption is much less than the overall energy absorption. Of course this is not an optimal treatment, when most of the energy is not expended to the desired job, but this could be a good approximation of the reality in most of the treatment cases.

Stopping at the first term of the perturbation approximation, the deviation of the real and the Pennes-calculated temperature is:. The difference between the results of the two approximations grows by the relative energy portion of the cellular distortion in the complete energy-intake.

If we have a definite high temperature and the criteriais such a result then of course we pump the energy much higher than the distortion requests, the temperature in fact only the "non-directly-used" part of the energy-intake. The distinguishing between the "heatable" and "unheatable" patients in reality is the condition that the energy expending to the distortion has to be negligible, "heatable-patient" so the temperature could be the control parameter instead of the correct energy control. Starting by the definition point of the hyperthermia, we considered the energy intake of the cellular distortion during the treatment.

The present work proposes to consider the energy expended on the cellular destruction in the frame of the analogue reaction-kinetics. On this base we worked out the non-equilibrium thermodynamic theory of the hyperthermia processes. Results of the above considerations are the generalized Pennes equation and two reaction-equations one for the activation and one for cellular destruction. Based on the generalized Pennes equitation, we introduced the energy-dose which contains a clinically observable term, the memory effect, namely the effect of the irreversible changes depending on the time, which is characteristically longer or at least comparable with the treatment time.

We had shown that neglecting the distortion energy, memory effect the newly introduced energy-dose and the Separeto-Dewey empirical-dose are identical. This is a control of the new dose-calculation and at the same time shows the reality of the rigorous thermodynamic basis of the empirical-dose as well. By studying the differences between the energy- and empirical-doses, we established that they are near to each other if the energy intake is large enough to neglect the energy of the distortion or the distortion process is so immediate that its time is negligible compared to the treatment time.

Considering the definitive task of hyperthermia to destroy the malignant cells, the cell-disruption and the energy expended on this is mandatory in the process. In this regard, our present calculation is important to clarify the quality assurance and all the quality guidelines of oncological hyperthermia. Back to cited text no.
