Hyperthermia therapy can be used in combination with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy to reduce tumor size prior to surgery.
Minimize Preoperative Tumor Size & Quantity
Hyperthermia treatment may sometimes be suggested prior to surgery to reduce the tumor size and number of tumors in the body. With less cancerous tissue to remove, a less intensive surgery might be possible. This may also increase the surgeon’s chances of successfully excising the cancerous matter from the body during the actual operation.
