ABSTRACT
Esophageal cancer is a malignant tumor of the digestive system that has a high incidence in China. The traditional treatment methods include surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, but the long-term efficacy is not good and the side effects are obvious. As a traditional physical therapy, hyperthermia has no significant toxic and side effects. Studies have shown that hyperthermia can increase the sensitivity of esophageal cancer to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and its combined use in the treatment of esophageal cancer can prolong the survival and improve the quality of life. In addition, the innovation of materials and technologies brings new breakthroughs to tumor hyperthermia.
