Hyperhydration of breast and skin cancers: effects on thermophysical tissue properties in clinical hyperthermia with water-filtered infrared-A radiation (wIRA) - an updated review by Helmut Piazena, Peter Vaupel

“…Background Water contents (Cw) of soft tissues are different and influence (a) the absorption of water-filtered infrared-A radiation (wIRA) used in superficial hyperthermia, (b) key parameters of the Pennes’ bioheat transfer equation, and (c) characteristics of heat exchange within and between tissues.Aim The effect of Cw on these parameters has been quantified for normal skin, female breast and corresponding malignancies with Cw values up to ≈ 1.6 times higher.Methods Literature data on spectral absorption and reduced scattering coefficient, density, specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity, diffusivity and effusivity of normal tissues and malignancies have been correlated with respective tissue water contents. …”
