Episode notes
How Hyperthermia Works And Its Status
- Hyperthermia applies focused heat (106–109°F) to solid tumors as an adjunct to chemo or radiation to sensitize treatment.
- The therapy is FDA-approved, often insurance-covered, and has minimal side effects like mild skin irritation.
Trust Symptoms And Get Screened
- Don’t ignore persistent symptoms; get checked and escalate to a specialist if answers don’t satisfy you.
- Early detection and appropriate screening (e.g., colonoscopy) materially improve outcomes.
Call Early To Explore Hyperthermia Options
- Call Hyperthermia Cancer Institute early after diagnosis to discuss whether hyperthermia can sensitize planned chemo or radiation.
- Even if you don’t proceed, get the information to make an informed collaborative decision.
