Abstract
We have developed a method of heating and control body temperature in Whole Body Hyperthermia (WBH). Tumor cells can be demaged at high temperature and it is also efficient to prevent metastasis of advanced cancer. It is important for the advanced WBH to control a vasoconstriction that the deteriorate of heat transfer efficiency in human body and to reduce the stimulus of skin by heating. As the basic verifications, we identified the reaction of body temperature under WBH as five phases and we tried the reduction of WBH-period by pre heating and cyclic heating by adjustment of the combination of heat conductive and radiant.
