Local Body Hyperthermia
Local Body Hyperthermia treatments use modern technology to target and destroy tumours without damaging surrounding healthy tissue. Unlike the X-ray radiation used in conventional radiotherapy, Local Hyperthermia is not radioactive and does not harm the patients.
​
It has become an important and sought-after treatment in integrative medicine because the risks compared to chemotherapy are significantly lower.
​
Worldwide, over 20,000 studies related to hyperthermia and cancers have been completed, and many scientists now consider Local Body Hyperthermia treatments as the fourth pillar of cancer treatment. It is EU-approved and widely used in European cancer clinics.
Why Choose Local Body Hyperthermia ?
In localised hyperthermia, an area of the body is heated in a way that the concentrated heat will start to destroy cancer cells. The reason is that healthy cells can self-regulate and have the ability to dissipate artificial heat effectively and quickly.
​
Most tumours do not have this ability. The treatment involves the placement of a probe onto the patient’s skin. High frequency waves are then targeted into the tumour, heating and killing its cells without the healthy tissue around it being harmed.
