You are doing everything you can to get well. Hyperthermia is a comfortable way to add one more layer of support. Gentle, deep heat is designed to work alongside the radiation or chemotherapy you are already having. In published research, adding heat has been studied in cervical, head and neck, breast, rectal and soft tissue cancers. In one pooled analysis of 38 trials, more people had a complete response when heat was added to radiation (54.9% compared with 39.8%).

At Inside Health, our practitioners build your care around you and your treatment plan. Book online or Contact us to talk about whether hyperthermia fits your plan.

How Does Hyperthermia Work?

Our Hyperthermia Deep Tissue Heating System warms the treatment area with gentle, high-frequency energy. You rest comfortably while the area is brought to about 40–44°C, the range used in published clinical research. You will feel warmth, and our team checks in with you throughout the session. The goal is to warm the area being treated while protecting your skin and the tissue around it.

Your care team explains each step and fits hyperthermia around the treatment you are already having.

What a Session Feels Like

Comfort comes first. You may notice warmth and some skin redness, and less often a burn, so we watch your skin and comfort during every session and review your history with you beforehand. Some people, for example those with certain implants, should not have hyperthermia, and we will tell you if that applies. Hyperthermia is complementary support that works alongside your oncology care.

Who It Can Help

How Heat Supports Your Treatment

What the Research Shows When Heat Is Added

  • More complete responses: a pooled analysis of 38 trials (3,478 people) found a complete response in 54.9% of people who had heat plus radiation, compared with 39.8% with radiation alone.
  • Better control in cervical cancer: a meta-analysis found better local control (hazard ratio 0.48) and better overall survival (0.67) when heat was added to radiation.
  • Longer survival in soft tissue sarcoma: heat added to chemotherapy before surgery was linked to better 10-year survival.
  • A signal beyond the treated area: in a cervical cancer trial, complete metabolic response outside the radiation field was 24% with heat plus chemoradiotherapy versus 5.6% without heat, which researchers link to immune effects.

Results vary from person to person and no outcome can be promised. Ready to see if hyperthermia fits your plan? Book online with one of our practitioners, or Contact us.
