What is immunotherapy?

Immunotherapy treatment in Irvine, CA, boosts the body’s immune response to disease, helping to combat certain types of cancers. Immunotherapy helps the body identify and attack cancerous cells without relying on more aggressive modalities such as radiation, which often comes with serious side effects. In some cases, synthetic antibodies are introduced during immunotherapy to help bolster the immune system’s defenses against disease.

A formidable duo – Hyperthermia therapy and immunotherapy work together synergistically to optimize your health

Thermal energy has long been acknowledged by medical professionals as a critical tool in the fight against disease. A growing body of clinical evidence suggests that ultrasound-based hyperthermia therapy can bolster the body’s immune response and decrease tumor viability, especially when paired with immunotherapy. Ultrasound heat improves the efficacy of conventional cancer treatments like radiation and chemotherapy and has now been shown to boost the efficacy of immunotherapy as well. 

The benefits of combining immunotherapy with hyperthermia therapy

Since cancer cells begin as normal cells, it can sometimes be difficult for the immune system to target them. Even when the immune system does successfully target cancer cells, it may be “too little, too late.” Making matters worse, cancer cells have the unique ability to hide from the immune system, camouflaging themselves. The aim of immunotherapy is to help the body identify and attack cancer cells from within, without relying on conventional outside-in methodologies. By performing hyperthermia therapy in combination with immunotherapy, our team can enhance results, taking your care to the next level.

Hyperthermia therapy boosts the body's immune response by…

  • Forcing cancer cells to release more tumor-specific antigens that can then be better identified by the immune system
  • Stimulating the lymph nodes to activate T cells that can destroy tumors
