Hyperthermia Therapy for Head and Neck Cancer
Hyperthermia therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that uses controlled heat to target cancer cells, making them more susceptible to radiation and chemotherapy. By raising the temperature of the tumor to between 104°F and 113°F, this technique helps improve the effectiveness of other treatments, allowing for better outcomes. Heat damages cancer cells directly while enhancing the delivery of oxygen and treatment agents to the affected area.
Our Irvine center uses state-of-the-art hyperthermia equipment to deliver precise, localized treatment that targets only the cancerous tissues. This approach reduces the risk of damage to surrounding healthy tissue, offering a safer and more effective treatment option for patients with head and neck cancers.
