On the journey to combat cancer, the medical community has been constantly seeking more effective and safer treatment methods. While surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and biotherapy have laid a solid foundation for cancer treatment, hyperthermia—a modern technology derived from ancient wisdom—is emerging as the fifth major cancer treatment modality, bringing new hope to patients worldwide.
Beijing South Region Oncology Hospital International Department has always been at the forefront of innovation in cancer treatment. We now provide a comprehensive introduction to this powerful weapon.
**What is Hyperthermia?**
The term “hyperthermia” originates from the Greek words meaning “high heat” or “overheating.” It is not simply a fever but a precise medical technique that uses various heat sources, such as radiofrequency, microwaves, ultrasound, or lasers, to raise tumor tissue to an effective treatment temperature (typically 39–43°C). This precise heating selectively induces tumor cell death while maximizing protection for surrounding normal tissues, achieving “precision strikes.”
**Why is Hyperthermia an Ideal Choice for Your Comprehensive Treatment Plan?**
The strength of hyperthermia lies in its multifaceted mechanisms of action and excellent compatibility:
1. Hyperthermia can not only destroy tumor cells but also disrupt their growth and reproductive environment, making it the fifth major cancer treatment modality after surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and biotherapy.
2. It is one of the important adjuvant therapies for cancer, as it can be combined with various treatment methods to enhance comprehensive cancer treatment.
3. Clinically, it is non-toxic, painless, safe, and non-invasive, often referred to as “green therapy.”
4. Hyperthermia carries low risks for tumor treatment. Years of clinical data show excellent efficacy, non-invasiveness, rapid recovery, positive reputation, and low costs for patients and families (no or minimal hospitalization).
5. It has a wide range of indications for tumors. Hyperthermia is effective for almost all human tumors except brain tumors and ocular tumors. It can be used alone or in combination with surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or cell therapy.
**A Powerful “Treatment Enhancer”**
Hyperthermia can be used alone for tumor treatment or combined with surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or perfusion therapy to significantly improve efficacy without side effects. It can extend the survival of cancer patients and enhance their quality of life.
- **Thermochemotherapy (Intravenous):** Using one-third to one-half of the conventional chemotherapy dosage, intravenous infusion is administered synchronously when the deep body temperature reaches 43°C. This increases local drug concentration and efficacy while reducing chemotherapy side effects. Patients unsuitable for traditional chemotherapy due to physical indicators can try this “toxicity-reducing” approach.
- **Thermoradiotherapy:** Radiotherapy is less effective against cells in the S-phase, but these cells are sensitive to heat. Combining hyperthermia within four hours before or after radiotherapy ensures treatment of all cells at different phases of the cell cycle on the same day, allowing for a one-sixth reduction in radiotherapy dosage.
**Safe and Painless “Green Therapy”**
For many patients, treatment side effects can be as troubling as the disease itself. Due to its high safety and unique treatment mechanisms, hyperthermia plays a significant adjuvant role in clinical cancer treatment. In 1985, the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) recognized hyperthermia as the fifth major cancer treatment modality after surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and biotherapy.
