Is hyperthermia useful for advanced cancer?

Hyperthermia has a certain effect on advanced cancer.

Hyperthermia can affect advanced cancer patients in many ways. First, hyperthermia can directly kill tumor cells. When tumor cells are exposed to high temperatures, their internal proteins, enzymes, etc. will undergo denaturation, resulting in cell death. This may provide an additional treatment option for advanced cancer patients who are resistant or unable to tolerate conventional treatments. Second, hyperthermia can enhance the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. When combined with chemoradiotherapy, hyperthermia can increase the sensitivity of tumor cells to chemoradiotherapy and improve the effectiveness of treatment.

When considering hyperthermia, it is necessary to comprehensively evaluate the patient's physical condition, tumor type and location. At the same time, hyperthermia may also bring some adverse reactions, such as local skin burns and pain, which need to be closely monitored and treated.
