Abstract
Ultrastructural peculiarities of breast tumor cells damaged by radiotherapy modulated by thermomodifiers are studied. The destructive changes are characteristically more pronounced in the center of nodes rather than in their peripheral parts after hyperthermia of superhigh frequency. Alterations induced by high-frequency interstitial hyperthermia are distributed more evenly in the central and peripheral regions. Ferromagnetic hyperthermia activates phagolysosomes containig iron particles, while hyperthermia with current-conducting fluids causes intra- and intercellular edema.
