Table 4Treatment schedule clinically used by our group

Ten minutes after radiotherapy an infusion of glucose 10% 500 cc is initiated and continued for 90'.
Thirty minutes after radiotherapy, hyperthermia is initiated, and for brain, tumors last 60', whereas for solid tumors located in other sides, 90'.
To increase the intracellular pH, a week before the treatment, we use orally quercetin (1200 mg/daily) and Moduretic® (Amiloride, 5 mg/daily).
Quercetin plus Celebrex® (Celecoxib 200-400 mg/daily) is used to reduce thermotolerance, too.
In certain situations, we insert Lonidamine as an anticancer and metabolic inhibitor.
