Abstract

The process for the treatment of cancer uses a garment which is fitted over the patient to cover cancerous tissue. The garment has inflatable pockets to which air is introduced, applying pressure to the body tissue. The application of pressure in this way reduces the flow of blood for a limited time. During this time interval the tissue is heated by microwaves raising the temp. to a point where the cancerous cells are destroyed. At about 41 degrees cells are no longer able to multiply, whilst above 42 degrees many are killed. After this treatment the normal immunological defences of the body may operate more effectively to deal with remaining cancer cells.

Description

La présente invention concerne un vêtement gui permet de tUer ou d'affaiblir les cellules cancéreuses proliférant dans un organisme humain. The present invention relates to a garment which kills or weakens cancer cells proliferating in a human organism.

On sait depuis longtemps que les cellules cancéreuses sont plus sensibles à la chaleur que les cellules saines et qu'elles ont besoin pour vivre d'une plus grande quantité d'oxy- gène. It has long been known that cancer cells are more sensitive to heat than healthy cells and that they need more oxygen to live.

Le vêtement gui fait l'objet de l'invention permet de combiner avantageusement deux procédés destinés respectivement d'une part à réduire la circulation sanguine et par suite l'oxygénation des cellules et d'autre part à chauffer la partie du corps à soigner. The mistletoe garment which is the subject of the invention makes it possible to advantageously combine two methods intended respectively on the one hand to reduce the blood circulation and consequently the oxygenation of the cells and on the other hand to heat the part of the body to be treated.

La réduction de la circulation sanguine s'obtient par l'utilisation d'un vêtement analogue dans son principe à celui qui est utilisé dans l'aéronautique pour lutter contre le déplacement des masses sanguines sous l'influence de l'accélération et, à cet effet, le vêtement est équipé de vessies gonflables qui modifient la pression distribuée sur le corps pendant un temps limité. The reduction in blood circulation is obtained by the use of a garment similar in principle to that which is used in aeronautics to combat the displacement of blood masses under the influence of acceleration and, to this Indeed, the garment is equipped with inflatable bladders which modify the pressure distributed on the body for a limited time.

Pour le chauffage dans la masse du corps, principalement à l'endroit des tumeurs initiales ou des métastases repérées, on utilise avantageusement un chauffage par micro-ondes. Le chauffage se produit approximativement pendant que la circulation est réduite par le gonflage judicieux des poches à air. On comprend que l'on peut chauffer localement beaucoup plus vigoureusement si la circulation sanguine est réduite et cela sans provoquer de troubles nerveux. On comprend aussi que la résistance des cellules cancéreuses étant affaiblie par larelative anoxye où elles se trouvent, elles succombent plus facilement à lthype enas.  For heating in the body, mainly at the location of the initial tumors or metastases identified, microwave heating is advantageously used. Heating takes place approximately while circulation is reduced by judicious inflation of the air pockets. It is understood that one can heat locally much more vigorously if the blood circulation is reduced and this without causing nervous disorders. It is also understood that the resistance of cancer cells being weakened by the relative anoxia where they are found, they succumb more easily to the enas type.

Vers 41 OC elles deviennent incapables de se multiplier. Au-delà de 42 OC, elles meurent en grand nombre. De toute façon, les défenses immunologiques du patient peuvent ensuite intervenir plus efficacement.Around 41 OC they become unable to multiply. Above 42 OC, they die in large numbers. In any case, the patient's immunological defenses can then intervene more effectively.

Le vêtement qui fait l'objet de l'invention est en tissu peu élastique et comprend des poches gonflables disposées par exemple sur l'abdomen, sur les cuisses, sur les mollets, éventueilement sur les bras, sur le cou et en d'autres endroits. Les pressions de ces poches sont modulées de façon gue le sang se répartisse préférentiellement en dehors de la zone que l'on veut traiter.  The garment which is the subject of the invention is made of inelastic fabric and includes inflatable pockets arranged for example on the abdomen, on the thighs, on the calves, optionally on the arms, on the neck and others. places. The pressures of these pockets are modulated so that the blood is preferentially distributed outside the area that is to be treated.

Des électrodes produisant un champ électromagnétique rapidement variable dont la longueur d'onde est par exemple, de l'ordre de quelques dizaines de centimètres sont incorporées au vêtement ou associées à proximité. Un régulateur fait en sorte que le champ électromagnétique soit appliqué sensiblement au moment où les poches sont gonflées mais on peut prévoir certains décalages en fonction de la localisation de la tumeur. On peut aussi obtenir une localisation du champ dans une zone préalablement repérée. Electrodes producing a rapidly variable electromagnetic field of which the wavelength is for example, of the order of a few tens of centimeters are incorporated into the garment or associated nearby. A regulator ensures that the electromagnetic field is applied appreciably when the bags are inflated, but certain shifts can be provided depending on the location of the tumor. It is also possible to obtain a location of the field in a previously identified area.

Le vêtement peut être appliqué à un malade alité mais il peut aussi, en certains cas et particulièrement en fin de traitement, servir à un traitement ambulatoire, le déclenchement du gonflage et du chauffage étant alors assuré soit par le patient, soit par une minuterie.  The garment can be applied to a bedridden patient but it can also, in certain cases and particularly at the end of treatment, be used for outpatient treatment, the triggering of inflation and heating then being ensured either by the patient or by a timer.
