What is total hyperthermia?
Total hyperthermia is a technique used in oncology that involves heating the body to stimulate the immune system, being part of the therapies aimed at optimizing the body's ability to fight cancer.
How does total hyperthermia work with an infrared beacon?
Total Far Infrared Hyperthermia (FIR) works by exposing the body to far infrared radiation to increase the temperature of internal tissues. This controlled increase in temperature can have several beneficial effects for health, but the exact way it works can vary depending on the purpose of the therapy. Here are some important aspects of how far infrared hyperthermia works:
Stimulating blood circulation: Far infrared radiation penetrates deep into the body's tissues and can help dilate blood vessels. This can lead to an increase in blood circulation to the treated areas, which can bring more oxygen and nutrients to those tissues and help eliminate metabolic waste.
Increasing tissue temperature: Increasing tissue temperature can have several beneficial effects. For example, increasing temperature can accelerate the activity of enzymes and other metabolic processes, which can contribute to improving cellular function and activating tissue repair processes.
Stimulation of the immune system: High temperature induced by hyperthermia can stimulate the immune system. This can help the body fight infections more effectively and identify and destroy cancer cells.
Increasing the elimination of toxins: Through sweating, hyperthermia can contribute to the elimination of toxins and heavy metals from the body.
The potential to make cancer cells more sensitive to conventional treatments: It is believed that raising the temperature in cancer tissues can make cancer cells more sensitive to radiation and chemotherapy, which can increase the effectiveness of these treatments.
The benefits of total hyperthermia in oncological treatment
Total hyperthermia (THT) is an adjuvant therapy that involves the controlled increase of body temperature to levels higher than normal body temperature to treat cancer or enhance the effectiveness of other oncological treatments. Over time, several potential benefits of total hyperthermia in cancer treatment have been identified, including:
Sensitization of cancer cells to conventional treatments: Hyperthermia can make cancer cells more sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Increasing the temperature in tumor tissues can weaken cancer cells and make it easier for subsequent treatments to destroy these cells.
Direct effects on cancer cells: Increased temperature can affect cancer cells directly, causing their death or inhibiting their ability to grow and multiply.
Increasing blood flow and oxygen intake: Hyperthermia can improve blood circulation in the tumor area, thus increasing oxygen intake in the affected tissues. This can help destroy cancer cells that need a hypoxic (oxygen-deficient) environment to survive.
Stimulation of the immune system: Hyperthermia can activate the immune system, allowing the body to identify and attack cancer cells. This effect can be beneficial in the treatment of cancer.
Reducing resistance to treatments: Increased temperature can help combat the resistance of cancer cells to conventional treatments.
Potential for destroying cancer cells at the molecular level: Hyperthermia can influence molecular processes in cancer cells, such as changing genetic expression, which can lead to their destruction.
Anti-inflammatory effects: Hyperthermia can have an anti-inflammatory effect in the body, reducing inflammation, which can play a role in the development and progression of cancer.
It is important to mention that total hyperthermia is often used in combination with other oncological treatments and must be administered under medical supervision by professionals specialized in hyperthermia therapies.
When is total hyperthermia recommended?
Cancer treatment: Total hyperthermia is often used as adjunctive therapy in cancer treatment. It is often used in combination with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy to sensitize cancer cells to these treatments and to increase their effectiveness.
Cancer in advanced stages: Total hyperthermia can be considered especially in cases of cancer in advanced or recurrent stages, when other treatment options may be limited.
Cancer with tumoral hypoxia: Tumors that have a hypoxic environment (lack of oxygen) can benefit from hyperthermia, because the increase in temperature can improve the supply of oxygen in the tumor area.
Treatment of other conditions: Total hyperthermia can also be used in the treatment of other conditions, such as infections and arthritis, but these uses may vary depending on the circumstances.
Contraindications for the total hyperthermia procedure?
Heart problems: Patients with severe heart problems may have contraindications for total hyperthermia, because the increase in body temperature can put additional pressure on the heart.
Respiratory problems: People with respiratory problems or lung diseases may present additional risks during total hyperthermia.
Pregnancy: Total hyperthermia is contraindicated during pregnancy, because it can affect the development of the fetus.
Skin diseases or open wounds: People with severe skin diseases or open wounds in the treated area may have contraindications, as hyperthermia can aggravate these problems.
Body temperature regulation problems: Patients with body temperature regulation disorders may be at additional risk during hyperthermia.
Heat sensitivity or allergies: People with heat sensitivity or allergies may not be suitable candidates for hyperthermia.
