Hyperthermia (Cancer Treatment)

Generally no. In medical guidelines, hyperthermia is not considered a miracle treatment on its own; it is always regarded as a powerful support force (radiosensitizer) that "sharpens the weapon" of those treatments when used simultaneously with Radiotherapy or Chemotherapy.

Special radio frequency (RF), microwave, or ultrasound devices (probes) are placed on or around the patient's cancerous area. While only the tumorous tissue in that area is heated deeply, the surface of the skin is protected from burning thanks to advanced cooling systems.

Because cancer cells have abnormal vascular structures, they cannot dissipate heat from the body, and at 42 degrees, their protein structures break down and they begin to die. Healthy tissues, on the other hand, protect themselves by sweating or dissipating the heat with blood thanks to their normal blood circulation. Therefore, it is a selective and safe treatment.
