Locoregional peritoneal hyperthermia to enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis: a simulation study comparing different locoregional heating systems.
Conclusion: Locoregional peritoneal heating with the AMC-8 system yields more favorable heating patterns compared to other clinically used locoregional heating devices. Therefore, results of this study may promote the use of the AMC-8 system for locoregional hyperthermia in future multidisciplinary studies for treatment of PC.
