Hyperthermia Therapy

Hyperthermia therapy takes advantage of the fact that cancer cells are very intolerant of heat. Normal cells in our body have mechanisms for carrying away excess heat. This is the process called homeostasis. Cancer cells do not have this capability and at a certain point it causes their death. At the same time, this heat increases the activity of the immune system while also thinning the viscosity of the lymphatic fluid.

The tools we use create infrared heat waves deep within the body. Infrared heat waves are more effective because they do not penetrate from the surface in, rather the heat is created deep within the tissue. For example, heat from a heating pad only penetrates 1 to 1½ inches whereas, far infrared rays create heat up to 6 inches within the tissue.

We use the following tools to create this deep heat in our patients. Therapy can occur as often as every day.
