Increasing the Efficacy of Radiation Therapy With Hyperthermia in Irvine, CA
Radiation works by significantly damaging the cellular DNA within cancer cells. Over multiple radiation appointments, the damage accumulates until the cancer cells are unable to self-repair or propagate. The weaker the cancer cells are after radiation, the easier it is for the body to remove them. The downside is that it can take weeks or months before radiation has sufficiently damaged the cancer cells, which gives them a window in which to self-repair. Luckily, hyperthermia can interrupt this cycle, weakening cancer cells and inhibiting their ability to regenerate.
