Hyperthermia (thermal therapy or thermotherapy) is a cancer treatment method used by exposing the tissues of the body to high temperatures (from 39 to 44 ° C). Researches show that high temperature destroys the cancer cells and damages them, while causing less damage to normal tissues. Hyperthermia significantly decreases the size of the tumour, destroys the cancer cells, damaging the proteins in the cells and their structure. In most cases, hyperthermia is used in combination with other cancer treatment methods, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Hyperthermia destroys the cancer cells that are not affected by the radiation, further increasing the sensitivity of some cancer cells to the radiation rays. When using hyperthermia and radiotherapy in a complex case, hyperthermia is applied approximately 1-2 hours before the radiotherapy procedure. Hyperthermia further increases the effect of some cancer drugs.
