TREATMENT THERAPIES

HEAT THERAPY OR HYPERTHERMIA

Hyperthermia therapy is a medical treatment in which body tissue is exposed to temperatures above body temperature, in the region of 40–45 °C. 

It is well established as an effective adjuvant to radiotherapy or chemotherapy, whereby cancer cells are sensitized to these treatments and outcomes are significantly improved. In our cancer centre, hyperthermia is included as an important modality in out integrative cancer programme.

Hyperthermia is applied locally to the tumour two to three times weekly while patients are receiving other integrative treatments such as Sono Photo Dynamic Therapy, high dose Vitamin infusions, Ozone or Mistletoe therapy.
