INTRODUCTION: Actual conservative oncological-treatment implies combined radio- (RT), chemo- (CT:cytostatics), thermo- (HT:hyperthermia) therapy: Efficacy depends essentially on vasomotor-reactions. Their biophysical-mechanisms are hardly investigated. Recent results related to summarized long-term investigations (2014-1970) are given.

METHOD: Vasomotor-activity of isolated helical-strips see ref.[1].

RESULTS (n=350): A.-Radiosensitivity of arteries&veins (human renal/ovarian/uterine; rat& guinea-pig&rabbit aorta/caval-vein/pulmonal-vessels) is very variable. X-rays-0.1-100Gy induce different kinds of ir-/reversible reactions. B.-Photosensitizers chlorophylline-derivatives/metalloporphyrine-complexes (Ag,Fe,Cu,Co) 1-10µg/ml strongly inhibit radiogenic reactions (but potentiate photogenic: UV-radiation-150W-Xenon-lamp-235-370nm; He-Ne-laser-632.8nm,10W). C.-X-rays inhibit EDRF (rat-aorta). D.-Hyperthermia (37-45°C) has relaxing-effects, radiogenic-contractions are potentiated by [Ca]-increase, hormones (nor-&adrenaline, prostaglandins) or abolished (45°C). E.-Drugs: AspirinR-indomethacin-theophylline-nifedipine antagonize radiogenic-contractions. F.-CT-cytostatics (adriblastin-bleomycin-colchicine-cis-Pt,etc. 0.1-50µg/ml) have also vasoconstrictor-effects (s.A).

CONCLUSION: Clarification of biophysical-mechanisms of oncotherapeutic vasomotor-reactions (A-F): Receptor or store-operated Ca-dependent-stretch-channels (Ca-entry by endothelin-1),etc. could lead to discovery of factors antagonizing radiogenic&thermo-induced vasomotor-reaction (drugs, microwave-irradiation supporting heat-shock-proteins,etc.), which decrease oncotherapeutic-efficacy: better oxygenation,etc. Also “radio-dynamic-therapy” & enlargement of Boron-neutron-capture-therapy(10B) (Gordon-Locher/USA) by porphyrins-implication is possible.
