Abstract
The current invention relates to a process for increasing the efficacy of cancerous disease inhibiting therapeutic agents delivered to a treatment region of a tissue structure, such as a tumor. The multi-step procedure takes advantage of the resulting thermal stress response occurring as a result of exposure to the cold. Coordinating the thermal related stress response with the timing of cancerous disease inhibiting agent action provides a unique therapeutic regiment to treat tumors which provides a maximized effect on the tumor, protects normal cells, and activates local pro-inflammatory cells.
