Hyperthermia
Hyperthermia is a cancer treatment that uses controlled heat to damage and destroy cancer cells or enhance the effectiveness of other treatments such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
What Is Hyperthermia?
Hyperthermia involves raising the temperature of cancer-affected tissues to weaken or destroy cancer cells. Heat can make cancer cells more sensitive to radiation and chemotherapy, improving treatment effectiveness while limiting damage to normal tissue.
Types of Hyperthermia
1. Local Hyperthermia
Heat is applied to a small area such as a tumor using external or internal heat sources.
2. Regional Hyperthermia
Treats a larger area of the body, such as an organ or limb, affected by cancer.
3. Whole-Body Hyperthermia
Raises the body temperature to treat cancers that have spread widely.
