INSIGHT

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.
ADVICE

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.
ADVICE

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.
