Abstract

While hyperthermic intraperitoneal applications have demonstrated high efficacy in treating peritoneal metastases (PM), these applications are limited to temperatures of 41‑43˚C to prevent a harmful increase in core temperature. However, since gaseous substances display low specific heat capacities, gas‑based hyperthermia could potentially increase surface temperatures without affecting the body's core temperature. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to explore the in vivo feasibility of gas‑based hyperthermia via spatial and time‑based distribution. In the present study, a temperature‑isolated, abdominal box model was created with fresh peritoneal tissue exposed to continuous high‑volume airflow temperatures ranging between 47 and 69˚C. Heat conduction within the peritoneal tissues was measured using temperature microsensors. Temperature build‑up at different time points during the procedure was calculated and the safest option to perform gas‑based intraperitoneal hyperthermia beyond 43˚C was identified using an in vivo swine model. In subsequent experiments, viability and cytotoxicity of HT‑29 colon cancer cells were measured following short‑term hyperthermia. The present study demonstrated that the application of gas‑based intraperitoneal hyperthermia with temperatures up to 50˚C is possible without increasing the core temperature to harmful levels. Gas‑based intraperitoneal hyperthermia can induce a histological reaction on the peritoneal surface, and it can also result in decreased viability and increased cytotoxicity of HT‑29 cells. The concept of extreme hyperthermia may be of great clinical importance as it could significantly increase local cytotoxicity in PM without increasing the body's core temperature. Further studies are required to investigate the benefits, as well as the restrictions, of this novel concept.
