| Abstract:: |
| Objective To evaluate the influence of hyperthermia on T helper subgroup (T help type1/T help type2,Th1/Th2) for patients with esophageal carcinoma.Methods 22 patients of esophageal carcinoma were randomly divided into two groups. Both group patients were treated by external radiation, the total dose was 64-66 Gy/30-33 fractions. Radiotherapy was the only therapy method in group A. Hyperthermia was used twice every week, with 8-10 fractions except for radiotherapy in group B. All patients were phlebotomized at the beginning and the end of radiotherapy for examining Th1/Th2 by flow cytometry.Results Th1 was significantly decreased in group A(t=5.33,P<0.01). All indexes in group B had no difference (t=-1.41, P>0.05). The Th1 in group A was decreased much more than that in group B(t=4.28,P<0.05).Conclusion Hyperthermia could rectify the balance of Th1/Th2. |
