Four decades of studies show that chemotherapy delivers more benefits with hyperthermia.
The Hyperthermia Cancer Institute treats patients with ultrasound heat technology as they undergo chemotherapy in Los Angeles to improve the chances of a complete response to chemotherapy. In addition to boosting the power of chemotherapy to destroy tumors, hyperthermia therapy has virtually no side effects.
After 35 years of use, there are still no known detrimental effects of hyperthermia therapy on healthy cells. Hyperthermia treatment is most compatible with certain types of chemotherapy. Our helpful patient advocates can work with your oncology team to determine if hyperthermia treatments could improve your healing journey.
Over 35 years of evidence demonstrates that heat from hyperthermia treatment can directly kill some cancer cells. In addition, the combination of chemotherapy with hyperthermia therapy significantly strengthens the potency of the anti-cancer drugs; first, by placing the targeted cells under heat stress, and second by delivering more cell-killing chemotherapy. This powerful combination ultimately causes the destruction of more cancer cells than standalone chemotherapy could achieve.
At HCI, we conduct hyperthermia therapy in a non-invasive, gentle manner that works. Our heat-based ultrasonic technology can damage and destroy cancerous cells, as well as significantly amplify the efficacy of certain chemotherapies.
