• If needed, we can connect patients with charities that will pay in part or in full for hyperthermia sessions.

What is hyperthermia treatment?

Hyperthermia is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive treatment that harnesses the power of gentle ultrasound energy to reduce cancer cells and tumors. During your session, thermal energy heats the cell membranes, enhancing blood flow to tumors. This makes them more vulnerable to both the body’s natural immune system and traditional cancer therapies like chemo and radiation. With melanoma cancer treatment in Irvine, we:

• Zero in on the tumor using ultrasound energy
• Protect the heart, lungs, lymph nodes, and any other at-risk organs
• Improve the efficacy of conventional therapies

Studies have shown that when combined with radiation, hyperthermia therapy can increase the likelihood of a complete response in melanoma tumors by upwards of 50%.
