Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention is directed to tumors, which are lumps formed in a living body due to the proliferation of cells constituting a living body (human body) in a manner different from normal. The present invention relates to a cancer treatment device using far infrared rays, which is used to treat epithelial carcinoma, which has a malignant effect on living bodies and is generally called cancer.

<Prior art> Carcinoma is formed as a result of aimless proliferation of epithelial cells, and it is well known that at the cellular level, malignant cells are more easily destroyed by heat than normal cells. It is true that malignant carcinoma
It has also been reported that up to 95% of them died at 42.5℃.

In light of the fact that malignant cancer cells are sensitive to heat, cancer treatment using far infrared rays, which has a high degree of penetration into the subcutaneous tissue and exerts a thermal effect due to the vibration of molecules in the body, has recently been developed. The law is receiving a lot of attention.

Cancer treatment methods using far-infrared rays that have been implemented to date include bath therapy using a far-infrared sauna and local irradiation of the affected area with a far-infrared irradiation lamp.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> Although it cannot be denied that far-infrared heat treatment as described above is sufficiently effective in reducing and preventing cancer,
Originally, in order to kill cancers that form locally in the body under strict temperature control of 42.5℃ as previously reported, it is necessary to intensively irradiate far-infrared rays to the affected area where the cancer has formed, which will give an immediate effect. Improving performance and effectiveness;
There is also a need for the development of a treatment device that is easy and safe to use.

<Means for Developing the Problems> The present invention has an object to provide something that can meet the above-mentioned needs, and in order to achieve the above object, the far infrared rays utilizing cancer treatment device according to the present invention has been developed. The outer surface of the tip of the needle-like member that can be inserted into the skin is configured as a far-infrared radiation surface, and the needle-like member is heated at 40°C.
The device is characterized in that it includes a heating source that heats the device to a temperature in the range of 45° C. and radiates far-infrared rays from the far-infrared radiation surface.

<Operation> The far-infrared cancer treatment of the present invention, which has the above-mentioned characteristics, involves inserting an injection needle into the skin of a living body at multiple locations around the cancer that has been discovered through various inspection methods such as X-rays. Insert and use according to instructions. Then, when the needle-like member is heated to a temperature in the range of 40°C to 45°C via the heating source at each insertion position, far-infrared rays are emitted from the far-infrared ray emitting surface of the tip of the needle-like member within the skin of the living body. The area concentratedly penetrates into malignant cells (carcinomas), and becomes high temperature due to the thermal reaction caused by the vibration of cell molecules, rapidly rising to 42.5℃, which is highly effective in killing malignant cancers. This action causes the cancer to shrink and die.

<Example> Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a needle-like member that can be inserted into the skin of a living body, and is composed of stainless steel pipes 1A and 1B that have good heat conductivity and have an inner and outer heavy structure with an outer diameter of 2 mm or less. At the same time, the outer surface of the tip of the outer pipe 1B is formed into a far-infrared radiation surface 2 by applying a film of heat-resistant far-infrared radiation paint. The base end of the inner pipe 1A is connected via a hose 5 and a pump 6 to a water heater 7 that generates hot water controlled at about 50°C, and the base end of the outer pipe 1B is connected to a drain pipe 8. The needle-like member 1 is heated to 40° C. by advecting hot water fed into the inner pipe 1A via the pump 6 from its tip opening to the outer pipe 1B and refluxing it.
A heating source 3 is configured to heat the device to a temperature in the range of 45° C. and radiate far-infrared rays from the radiation surface 2. 4 is a cooler for analgesic effect when the needle-like member 1 is inserted into the skin of a living body, and the case is filled with so-called dry ice, which is a mixture of solid carbonic acid and ethyl alcohol or acetone. It is fitted onto the needle-like member 1 so as to be slidable along its longitudinal direction, and when the needle-like member 1 is inserted, it is brought into contact with the surface layer of the living body's skin at the insertion point and kept at about -78°C. It exerts an analgesic effect on puncture by instantaneous cooling.

Next, other embodiments of the present invention will be listed.

[] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, a spirally wound heating wire 3a is held at a portion of the tip of the outer pipe 1B of the needle member where the radiation surface 2 is located,
The heating source 3 is constituted by an electric heater enclosed and incorporated, and the conductive wires 3b, 3c
Electric power is supplied from a power source (not shown) through the heating wire 3a to generate heat and heat the heating wire 3a.

[] The far-infrared radiation surface 2 may be a ceramic coating formed on the outer surface of the tip of the needle-like member 1 by plasma spraying. It may also be made of radioactive ceramic.

<Effects of the Invention> As is clear from the detailed description above, the present invention has a simple and easy usage procedure similar to that of a syringe, and can intensively emit far-infrared rays that have a heating effect on the affected area where cancer has formed. In addition to being able to irradiate
Since temperature control such as 42.5°C, which is highly effective in killing cancer, can be easily carried out, it has become possible to carry out the desired cancer treatment very quickly and effectively.
