Hyperthermia Cancer Treatments

Have you heard of this? This integrative medical treatment combines the delivery of conventional chemotherapy medications in an innovative and alternative way.

With hyperthermia, the patient's full body, and sometimes only isolated body part, is heated to 106° F. This is done in a hospital setting and the patient is very closely monitored throughout. The chemotherapy medication is then delivered intravenously. Hyperthermia enhances the effect of the chemotherapy as the blood vessels in the heated section of the body or in the patient if using full body hyperthermia, will dilate for improved flow of the medication.

Sometimes thrombolization is used in conjunction with this treatment. Thrombolization is where chemotherapy is delivered only to a specific organ versus delivered to the whole body.

LITT is also a new procedure. LITT is also called laser induced thermo therapy.

All of these therapies have helped cancer patients at the Leonardis Clinic in Germany. The doctors there have found that utilization of these techniques have enhanced the delivery of traditional chemotherapy and have reduced the severity of side effects with great success.
