Does Medifocus Have the Answer for Increased Shrinkage in Large Breast Cancer Tumors?
(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/28/11 -- In a new Expert Briefing an MIT Researcher and Inventor discusses Medifocus Inc's (PINKSHEETS: MDFZF) (TSX-V: MFS) Minimally Invasive Wide-Field Focused Microwave Thermotherapy in combination with Preoperative Chemotherapy for treatment of breast cancer.
Earlier this month, Medifocus announced that it had initiated its first two clinical sites to begin a randomized Phase III study for the treatment of large breast cancer tumors with focused microwave thermotherapy at the University of Oklahoma Breast Institute in Oklahoma City and at the Comprehensive Breast Center in Coral Springs, Florida.
Now, Alan J. Fenn, PhD, a researcher at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and inventor of the adaptive phased array focused microwave thermotherapy heat treatment for cancer, explains how this ground-breaking treatment technology works. In earlier studies large invasive breast cancer tumors treated with a combination of chemotherapy and two focused microwave heat treatments (approximately 45 degrees Celsius or about 113 degrees Fahrenheit) shrunk nearly 50 percent more (on a relative basis) than tumors treated with chemotherapy alone (88.4% versus 58.8%).
Fenn is the author of two related books, Breast Cancer Treatment by Focused Microwave Thermotherapy (Jones and Bartlett, 2007) and Adaptive Phased Array Thermotherapy for Cancer (Artech 2009).
