Hyperthermia Treatment For Breast Cancer

News story about using hyperthermia as a treatment for breast 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. It's an additional form of treatment that can be done in difficult cases, usually without serious side effects or complications."

Dr. Steven Stroup, Centennial Hospital, Nashville, Tenn.


"When the tumor is of larger size, it is unresectable surgically. Also, radiation has less effect on the center part of the tumor, which is deprived of the oxygen blood supply and the nutrients. By increasing the temperature of the tissues from 42-44 degrees centigrade, (hyperthermia) increases the circulation, increases the oxygenation, so that the radiation is more effective."

Very important video. Everyone should be told about HYPERTHERMIA for cancer!

BINGO!!!!

@farrseco Yes Farrseco, you are right, Hyperthermia was practiced by ancient cultures like Greeks and now you mentioned Egyptians. Modern medicine is a scam, obsolete, in-moral, and does not care about people: just the money they can make! Sad...

[carlosdcyt]

@ccarlosdc Yes , I did some research and that is what I was talking about. Now, Valley Cancer Institute unfortunately did not open the Beverly Hills office yet (12-05-10) Why? I don't know... It's a pity because so many people with cancer can be benefited with Hyperthermia, that is more effective and has less side effects than conventional cancer treatments.

@carlosdcyt I think the Hyperthermia cancer clinic you are talking about is Valley Cancer Institute located in Culver City. I also know they are opening another clinic in Roxbury Dr, 90210 Beverly Hills. They treat breast cancer, prostate cancer, throat cancer, and neck cancer

by the way, Farrah Fawcett lives in Beverly Hills; the Hyperthermia clinic in the video response is located in Culver City, about 20 min from Beverly Hills; unfortunately she was miss lead by the money only oriented UCLA docs, and screwed her up
