CNBC story on using hyperthermia devices to treat cancer.Hyperthermia therapy is a treatment used in battling cancer by heating tumors.The Heating is about as warm as a hot tub. Research has shown that heat can damage or kill cancer cells in some tumors while also making radiation and chemotherapy more effective. While it has been known for hundreds of years that fevers can kill cancer, only recently has technology been developed that can control and focus heat specifically on tumors. Local hyperthermia treatment (heat applied to a very small area, such as a tumor) is a well-established cancer treatment. Primary malignant tumors have a bad blood circulation, which make them more sensitive to changes in temperature. “Our own clinical experience and the results of numerous published studies are highly encouraging in that increased use of hyperthermia will improve the quality of life for cancer patients and improve control of cancer recurrences.” Dr. Gerald Sokol, New Hope Cancer Center, Hudson, FL. “Hyperthermia is offering our patients new hope. We are often seeing faster responses, better cancer control, and fewer side effects.” Dr. Leland Rogers, GammaWest, Salt Lake City, Utah “Hyperthermia gives us a method to treat people when there are few other alternatives.

HIFU, high intensity ultrasound, is used in 61 centres in Europe on Kidney and prostate tumours – see CANCERactive in the UK for more. It is a cheap alternative to surgery, without the side effects, and for prostate has a 87.7 per cent 5 year survival. It is just about to be trialled (against cryosurgery) at MD Anderson. It should be much more widely used. See also the work of Holt in Australia.
