Most oncologists use one or a combination of three methods to treat cancer: surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. Hyperthermia can be a useful addition in all these methods of treatment. When integrated with radiation therapy or chemotherapy, hyperthermia enhances their potency. In select cases, hyperthermia is a stand-alone treatment that can be employed to kill cancerous cells.
The addition of hyperthermia improves the likelihood of a complete response to breast cancer treatment more than radiation therapy alone.

Research shows that non-invasive heat therapy hyperthermia delivers effective results in patients with breast cancer. The addition of hyperthermia improves the likelihood of a complete response in breast cancer versus radiation therapy alone. Heat-based hyperthermia therapy can have a significant effect on cancer cells. Heat disrupts cell membranes and increases blood flow to the tumor, making the tumor more sensitive and vulnerable both to your body’s natural immune defenses and to other cancer therapies.
“My mom received hyperthermia here in conjunction with five rounds of chemotherapy for her stage four lung cancer. She saw a reduction in tumor burden by over 50% and her cancer stabilized.The team at HCI is thoughtful and caring – I recommend hyperthermia for all cancer patients undergoing chemo or radiation.”
“I went to Hyperthermia cancer institute 5-6 days a week for 4 weeks. On my birthday, I received a call from my oncologist and they could not find a trace of tumor in the MRI. The tumor went to a zero! It is a complete success. I am so happy to have come to HCI.”
“I just wanted to let you know that I am in my first cancer-free year! Thank you again for the time, effort and care given to me during my time of need. I will continue to spread the word of incredible hyperthermia treatments to those in need.”
– Merry Chase
“The hyperthermia treatments were the major difference in treating my cancer. I am forever grateful for this technology.”
– Carla Olson
The team at HCI is outstanding. They treated us with so much care and respect! The technology helped my wife tremendously and the treatment is relatively comfortable compared to many cancer therapies. We highly recommend. Oh, and it is in one of the most beautiful places on the planet!

Dr. Pinzone, Matt Reed and the whole team are fantastic and truly care about their patients. I highly recommend!

Hyperthermia treatment is non-invasive and non-toxic. There is no damage to normal healthy tissues during your session, meaning it can maximize the efficacy of other treatments like radiation and chemo without risking damage to vital organs. Most patients find it easy to tolerate and do not experience side effects.
While hyperthermia is most commonly paired with radiation or chemotherapy, it can also enhance outcomes when used in conjunction with surgery, especially for addressing residual cancer cells post-surgery. Your doctor will advise if this combination is suitable for your case.
