Recent systematic review discussing temperature-dependent effects of induced hyperthermia on immune activation, DNA repair/genomic instability, treatment sensitivity, thermotolerance, and biomarkers.
Hyperthermia (Cancer Thermal Therapy)
Hyperthermia (Cancer Thermal Therapy) is a supportive, functional, or environmental health approach used for comfort, mobility, stress reduction, rehabilitation, exposure reduction, symptom support, or broader wellness during cancer care. In cancer care, it should be evaluated by evidence level, intended use, safety, interactions, and whether it is being used as conventional treatment, supportive care, an experimental adjunct.
Medical encyclopedia entry noting hyperthermia is usually combined with radiation or chemotherapy and is studied across multiple cancers.
NCI overview of local, regional, and whole-body hyperthermia, cancers studied, adjunctive use with radiation/chemotherapy, availability, and side effects.
ACS patient guide describing local, regional, and whole-body hyperthermia, its role with other cancer treatments, risks, and experimental status.
NCI patient fact sheet explaining local, regional, and whole-body hyperthermia and when it is used with other treatments.
Recent evidence synthesis on hyperthermia combined with radiotherapy in cervical cancer.
Systematic review of complementary medical hyperthermia methods; found heterogeneous and methodologically limited evidence and no reliable survival or quality-of-life evidence for alternative whole-body or electro-hyperthermia approaches.
Chapter focused on fever-range whole-body hyperthermia, water-filtered infrared-A irradiation, immunotherapy-era rationale, and limitations of the clinical evidence.
Clinical overview explaining hyperthermia, local/regional/whole-body methods, and how heat may weaken cancer cells or improve chemo/radiation response.
