Hyperthermia means a body temperature that is higher than normal. High body temperatures are often caused by illnesses. Such AS fever or heat stroke. But hyperthermia CAN Also refer to heat treatment – the carefully controlled USE of heat for medical purposes. Here. We will focus on HOW heat is used to treat CANCER. WHEN cells in the body are exposed to higher than normal temperatures. Changes take place inside the cells. Warmer temperatures CAN make the cells more likely to BE affected by other treatments such AS radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Very high temperatures CAN kill cancer cells outright. But they Also CAN injure or kill normal cells and tissues. This is WHY hyperthermia must BE carefully controlled and should BE done by doctors WHO are experienced in using it. The idea of using heat to treat cancer has been around for some time. But early attempts HAD mixed results. For instance. It was hard to maintain the right temperature in the right area while limiting the effects on other pArts of the body. But today. Newer tools allow better control and more precise delivery of heat. And hyperthermia is being used (or studied for USE) against many types of cancer.

BICHER cancer institute is one of the America&rsquos largest hyperthermia research and clinical treatment centers. Since its foundation in 1984 by DR. James haim BICHER. BCI has been committed to the research. Development. And clinical USE of hyperthermia, a natural. Less toxic CANCEROCIDAL modality. To improve cancer treatment results while decreasing side effects of conventional therapies. The hyperthermia cancer treatment approach used AT BCI has a curative intent. AS opposed to palliative treatment used in conventional therapies like radiation alone. High toxic chemotherapy. And the &ldquopoint of NO return&rdquo surgery whose purpose is only to prolong patients&rsquo lives. Hyperthermia cancer treatment in conjunction with LOW dose intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) offered AT BCI. Is purposely intended to cure when tumors are LOCALIZED. CAPABLE of treating more than 50 patients PER DAY. BCI offers ONE of the most advanced hyperthermic technology with five hyperthermia treatment rooms. And full radiation and medical oncology departments. Using a holistic approach. The combination of the natural heat treatment with the other established anti cancer modalities. Allows for good treatment results in most tumors. While markedly decreasing the level of toxicity. Bci&rsquos medical expertise is based on 25 years of clinical experience and research in the development of alternative cancer TREATMENTS. MOST of the institute&rsquos oncology staff. Including doctors. Nurses. Hyperthermia and radiology technicians. And engineers. Has been with BCI from the first years of its establishment and possesses decades of expertise in the field of cancer treatment with curative intent. Effectiveness of the cancer treatment with hyperthermia offered AT BICHER cancer institute for breast. Head and neck. And prostate cancer was outlined in the summary of the paper published in the german journal of oncology complete response rates were 82% for breast patients. 88% for head and neck and 93% for prostate patients. Projected 5 year survival rates were 80% for breast patients. 88% for head and neck. 87% for prostate patients. Side effects were less than with curative radiation therapy alone. NO grade IV toxicity (common toxicity criteria) was observed.,BICHER HI MD. . WOLFSTEIN. RS. M. D thermoradiotherapy with curative intent &ndash breast. Head and neck and prostate tumors.
