Hyperthermia Treatments

Hyperthermia has been used for many years to improve the tumor killing effects of both chemotherapy and radiation. This has been done mostly in experimental settings and it is not a standard part of therapy. It is considered in situations where other treatment options may be limited and is usually given in conjunction with chemotherapy or radiation on a clinical trial. No, we do not offer hyperthermia at my cancer center. Hyperthermia has been used for many years to improve the tumor killing effects of both chemotherapy and radiation.
