Cancer Immunity Clinic Hyperthermia Immunity High-frequency Thermal Cancer Treatment

Thermal cancer treatment is a treatment method which, by heating cancerous tissues, increases bio-metabolic rate of cancer cells and blocks oxygen supply at the same time, and eventually slowly destroys cancer cells by inducing them to suicide.

Treatment principles of oncothermia

With development of Oncothermia high-frequency thermal cancer treatment system based on the concept of modulating energy dose, existing technical problems are solved. Oncothermia is a method of placing a human body in the capacitive of two charged electrodes and inducing high-frequency current of 13.56 MHz to the body and letting it flow. When high-frequency current flows in the human body, the body parts where metabolism is active, i.e.,where many ionized ions( sodium ion, calcium ion, etc.) are, have excellent electrical conductivity, resulting in concentration of current flow. Current flows intensively through the extracellular fluid of cancer cells where electrical resistance is far lower than normal cells because it has high ion concentration. In other words, current flows through the extracellular fluid surrounding each membrane of cancer cell, regardless of the shape and location of cancerous tissues. Oncothermia high-frequency thermal cancer treatment system is a state-of-the-art cancer treatment device using the principle of that, unlike normal cells, cancer cells are naturally destroyed and necrotize when heat of 38.5~42ºC is applied.

Features of high-frequency thermal cancer treatment device

Generating heat in cancerous cells and increasing bio-metabolism by selectively applying energy to cancerous tissues only, it destroys cancer cells by inhibiting proliferation of cancer cells.

Selectively applying energy to cancerous tissues & inducing necrosis and natural death of cancer cells
Oncothermia high-frequency thermal cancer treatment system concentrates its energy only into cancerous tissues using its auto-modulating function. When patients moves, it is automatically modulated following cancerous tissues. During treatment, additional check using other devices, such as CT, MRI, etc., is unnecessary.

Anticipation of monotherapy effect
Heat treatment is possible even when anticancer drugs, surgery, and radiation treatment are difficult.

Treatment effects of high-frequency
thermal cancer treatment

Treatment effect increases when used with anti-cancer/radio/immuno therapies.
Thermal therapy is used with anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiotherapy in almost every case. It allows the blood and oxygen to flows out from tumor cells, resulting in more increasing the efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Research shows result that when it is parallely used with anti-cancer/radiotherapy, the efficay increases about 2 times (33%>60%). The more increased efficacy can be expected when used with immunotherapy.

method without side effects and complications
It doesn't cause side effects, such as vomiting, nausea, loss of appetite, weight loss, indigestion, etc., and complications, such as numbness in arms or legs.

Anticipation of monotherapy effect
Heat treatment is possible even when anticancer drugs, surgery, and radiation treatment are difficult.

Quality of patient's life enhancement through pain relief
Through immunostimulation, it activates patient's immunity and metabolism, allow to reduce usage of pain killers by relieving severe pain caused by cancer, and enhances quality of patient's life.

Possible to treat cancer of any parts of the body
It can be applied to most of solid cancers except blood cancer, and effectively used in the treatment of scattered tumors in a certain part using auto-focusing function.

Precautions for hign-frequency thermal cancer treatment

precautions
Side effects of high-frequency thermal cancer treatment, in general, is minor, but it may cause side effects as follows.
· It may cause red spots on the skin around where the electrodes attached. · It may cause mild burn, wound, inflammation, necrosis in beneath the skin, especially more fatty area. · It may damage the eyes when directly exposed to high-frequency electric field. It is necessary to have consultation with a specialist and therapist when head and neck site are treated.
Patients not allowed · Patient with pacemaker · Those who has implanted a relatively big metallic material, such as artificial joint, etc. · Those who are recovering after bone marrow transplant. · Those who are pregnat. · Those who have severe inflammation. · Those who have severe pleural effusion fluid and/or ascites.
