Therapeutic hyperthermia in cancer treatment
Booking Health GmbH
The biggest and the only certified international service for booking health care treatments abroad.
Hyperthermia is the heating of a body part, an anatomical area, or the whole body to an effective temperature of 38-42 °C. The normal vessels and capillary networks do not have enough time to be formed in fast-growing malignancies. Therefore, with a temperature increase their blood flow decreases to almost zero. Without an adequate blood supply, the tumor and metastases do not receive the necessary nutrients and are quickly destroyed by the influence of their own toxic metabolic products. During this procedure the periods of the body heating and cooling alternate, so it is well tolerated by patients.
One of the innovative types of thermotherapy is laser-induced interstitial thermotherapy (LITT). This procedure is performed using specialized equipment– the Nd: YAG-laser, which consists of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet crystal. With the help of a miniature fiberglass applicator, the doctor delivers laser radiation directly to the tumor. During the treatment, the temperature in the target area reaches between 60-110°C, which leads to the tumor’s destruction.
LITT procedure is successfully used in inoperable tumors of the liver, kidneys, lungs, breast, prostate, and other organs. LITT also allows doctors to carefully destroy metastases in parenchymal organs and lymph nodes. This procedure is the treatment of choice in patients with metastases in the liver and lungs who may not survive after surgery.
If you are seeking medical care from a foreign clinic for the first time, it will be safer and more effective to charge with the organization of treatment.
