When hyperthermia is combined with radiation therapy, hyperthermia increased rates of disease-free survival 2 years after treatment of prostate cancer.
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.
Prostate cancer varies depending on the aggressiveness of the tumor, the stage of the cancer, and response to certain therapies. Often, prostate cancer is treated with surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and/or hormonal therapy to reduce testosterone levels. It is important for the patient to understand the nature of their cancer, and carefully consider the treatment advice of their oncologist or urologist.
Hyperthermia is a non-invasive FDA-approved treatment that uses ultrasonic heat technology to reduce in size and eliminate tumors. Heat disrupts cell membranes and increases blood flow to the tumor, making it more vulnerable to both the body’s natural immune defenses and to other cancer therapies like radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
Hyperthermia can be added at any time to one’s prostate cancer treatment in Irvine, though for best chances at tumor eradication early adoption is key. Most patients can expect to tolerate hyperthermia treatments well. Hyperthermia has no known adverse effects on normal tissue, and undergoing hyperthermia can maximize treatment effectiveness without putting sensitive surrounding organs like the bladder, rectum, and testicles at risk.
“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.”
– Mark Chase
“The hyperthermia treatments were the major difference in treating my cancer. I am forever grateful for this technology.”
– Chris Olson
Dr. Pinzone 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.
Hyperthermia therapy is versatile and can be applied to various stages of prostate cancer, from early-stage to advanced and recurrent cases. Your physician will evaluate your unique situation to determine if hyperthermia can complement your treatment plan.
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.
Yes, hyperthermia is particularly beneficial for recurrent prostate cancer, especially in previously irradiated areas. It can enhance re-irradiation effectiveness and provide durable palliation for chest wall recurrences.
