“What is Electrochemical Therapy(EChT) Inserting electrodes (special produced by platinum) into tumor and connecting its with EChT apparatus, direct electric current arouse strong chemical reactions around electrodes and lead degeneration and necrosis of tumor cells. It is a new type method to treat tumor without surgical resection. The final result is caused by direct electric current inducing chemical reactions, so it is called EChT….”

“1. Concept of Natural Medicine Natural Medicine has evolved along with human social evolution. It started by using primitive natural methods, natural medication and traditional health preservation methods, for disease diagnosis and treatment, rehabilitation, disease prevention, and health maintenance. Now, Natural Medicine has become an encompassing discipline of the medical field. However, the basic concept of Natural Medicine remains “human and nature in unison,” “mind and body in unison,” that is, the harmonious whole-body concept….”

“Abstract

“Introduction During the last decade, there has been an amazing progress in cancer research and treatment in the world and also in Korea. Nevertheless, the overall 5-year survival rate of lung cancer patients in 2001-2005 period was still 15,6% in South Korea. This type of cancer is usually diagnosed in advanced stage, consequently the overall survival did not show noticeable improvement….”

“Introduction – objective of the work

“Long-time living ancient paradigm is eliminating the tumor cells by drastic, artificial effects (resection and necrosis) in the actual lesions. Original idea of the very first interventions in oncology had favored the necrosis by elevated temperatures in the local area. The original hyperthermia (HT) concept used the consequences of the definite high temperature in the tissue and in the physiology reactions. …”

“One of the problematic point of the medication its targeting. The systemically administered drugs are distributed in the whole body by the blood, irrespective its origin by i.v. infusion, orally taken or getting by muscular injection, rectal suppository, skin-addicted, inhalations etc. However the delivery and the in-siut effect of the given drug to the target is a crucial point of the treatment. This is also the main point of the personalization of the drug-administration on every medial actions and especially important in the oncology, where the toxicity is an effective danger….”

“Objective None of the established state-of-the-art treatments in malignant primary brain tumors, especially in glioblastoma multiform (GBM), could show effective or commonly accepted curative potential until today. The editorial question of JAMA [1] in 2005 is actual even now: “Where to go from here?” Our objective to show a feasible way to go, summarizing the results obtained till ow made by modulated electro-hyperthermia (oncothermia) in various clinics in EU…”

Present a comprehensive summary of clinical studies made by oncothermia. Compare the data and make possible statistically significant statements….”

“Introduction Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) exceeds in number the 85% of all malignant lung cancers. In metastatic disease the principle goal is to prolong survival with the lest toxicity keeping in mind the importance of patients’ quality of life. ...”

“The current design and devices: EHY2000, EHY2010, EHY3010 Birth of a new design: What happens when we start a plan? First of all we talk about what the goal is: a new design, a redesign, a correction on the basis of customer suggestion, etc. When we make a new design, we start with some drafts …”

“Objective Observation and explanation of rouleaux phenomenon induce permanent debate started from its discovery. The aggregation of erythrocytes is a prominent feature in humans and other species “athletic” species [1], in vitro studies have shown that aggregation of blood  increases as shear rate decreases…”

“Objective One of the very first treatment “technologies” for oncology is the regional heating of the tissues and body-parts, (Hyperthermia, HT). This long history was not enough to be accepted as conventional treatment, facing mostly skeptic opinions among the oncology experts. The main reason is its controversial results and poor control, the missing of appropriate selective, controllable safe deep heat-delivery….”

“Objective Oncothermia survival studies are problematic due to the missing control arm. This is a problem is general, when the treatment targets advanced, mostly refractory, relapsed malignancies in high treatment lines, when the only way is the sequential treatment. Usually the care in high line treatment (or in terminal phase) has very limited evidence based possibilities, its medical decision-making processes are usually well tailored to the individual patients [18], [19]…”

“Objective Our objective to show the long historic development of the hyperthermia and the electromagnetic therapies directly to the present: to the oncothermia. Ancient approach of heat-therapy Hyperthermia is ancient treatment. Started with the arly ancient cultures The beginning had sacral & cultural rules, centering on the Sun (like God) in Egyptian philosophy)….”

“Objective Oncothermia concept was found when the company was established, however the way of realization is a long process, having various steps forward and sometimes dead-ends. Our objective to show the history of oncothermia through its devices, giving a picture how stable development was achieved by the years, and conclude with a lesson how to go further….”

“Introduction Loco-regional hyperthermia in oncology has ambivalence discretion in the medical community. The extremely long history of the method as well as the supposed universal ability to complement all the existing traditional methods is not enough to prove its efficacy. The central point of the non univocal acceptance and the mixed feeling is the some-times unsuccessful selective heat-delivery into the deep-seated tumors….”

“Objective Acupuncure and their connective pathways the meridians are ancient Chinese knowledge but it is not understood yet in details [1]. Request of the stable homeostasis of the complex organisms is demanding interdisciplinary approach and new paradigm for the topic. The detecting and reconstructing the deviation from the normal balance of the homeostasis is the basic principle of TCM….”

“Objective Hyperthermia is an ancient oncology method. It is the very first treatment modality for this type of disease, having 5000 year history [1], based on the Sun as the overall curative force in ancient Egypt. Later Hippocratic paradigm described it using physiological process (acidosis) to eliminate the malignant tissue….”

“Objective Oncothermia became a widely used and popular method in over 15 countries of the world. It is not a “gold standard” yet, but it is on the way to reach its stable and important position as a “fourth column” among the main oncotherapy modalities. It has wide-range applicability for every solid tumor in all possible localization, irrespective its primary or metastatic form….”
