Another interesting study is called, Continuous hyperthermic peritoneal perfusion with cisplatin for the treatment of peritoneal mesothelioma. By Ma GY, Bartlett DL, Reed E, Figg WD, Lush RM, Lee KB, Libutti SK, Alexander HR. - Metabolism Section, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892. Cancer J Sci Am. 1997 May-Jun;3(3):174-9. Here is an excerpt: Abstract - PURPOSE: Peritoneal mesothelioma remains a difficult therapeutic challenge. Aggressive debulking combined with continuous hyperthermic peritoneal perfusion (CHPP) using cisplatin (CDDP) is a novel strategy for the treatment of peritoneal mesothelioma, allowing high regional delivery of chemotherapeutics and hyperthermia while minimizing systemic toxicity. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From June 1993 to May 1996, 10 patients with peritoneal mesothelioma (six men, four women; mean age 40 years, range 15-57) underwent tumor debulking followed by a 90-minute CHPP. CHPP parameters included mean initial CDDP of 120 micrograms/mL (range 81-166), perfusate volume 5.2 L (range 4-7), flow 1.5 L/min, intraperitoneal temperature at three locations-41.5 degrees C, 40.5 degrees C, 41.1 degrees C, and...more

If you have fibroids, and are considering trying a fibroid tumor natural treatment, you have probably spent some time considering your treatment options. It could be that your doctor has recommended surgery, or perhaps hormonal treatment. Indeed, the most common recommendation is a "wait and see" approach which in theory is fine if your fibroids are benign.I say "in theory" because the wait and see approach does not take into account that your fibroids could be affecting the whole quality of your life. It's fine if you are very close to the menopause, when your fibroids will probably shrink and it's also acceptable if your symptoms are little more than a minor inconvenience. However, for women in their twenties, thirties and early forties, this many well be unacceptable and a fibroid tumor natural treatment could be a good option.Treating fibroids from the inside out, using natural methods is a good way forward as it incorporates the theory that fibroids form due to a number of primary and secondary factors which, when combined together, cause imbalances within the body and the fibroids are the manifestation of this imbalance. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to determine...more
