Transition of Care Support

While patients receive hyperthermia treatment, many patients choose to continue their current medical care and/or explore new treatment options. Dr. Pinzone and our team can help with other healthcare providers and services. Typically, patient referrals are to medical oncologists to continue or initiate chemotherapy or initiate radiation therapy.

In addition, many of our patients choose to pursue integrative therapies such as high-dose vitamin C, mistletoe, hyperbaric oxygen, infrared sauna, and other therapies. There are many integrative practitioners and institutions close by who have deep knowledge and experience in integrative therapies, who are familiar with our practice.
