About Beverly Hills Thermal Medicine:

The Center for Thermal Oncology is an advanced cancer treatment center specializing in hyperthermia treatment. Hyperthermia (also known as “thermal therapy”) is a means of using heat to treat cancer. It is used primarily with radiation therapy. Our physicians also pair it with chemotherapy and sometimes a combination of chemotherapy and radiation. The heat is administered by a hyperthermia machine, which uses ultrasound (sound waves), microwaves or another form of energy to create heat within the tumor.

Heat generated by hyperthermia helps to sensitize cancer cells to radiation therapy, thereby making your radiation treatments significantly more effective than if given alone. The two therapies work together to fight the growing cancer cells. Heat also prevents the cancer cells from repairing the cancer-damaging effects of radiation.
