Hyperthermia is a research area that focuses on the application of heat to treat or destroy cancer cells. It is based on the principle that heat can selectively target and eliminate cancer cells without damaging normal tissues. Hyperthermia can be used alone or in combination with other cancer treatments such as radiation therapy or chemotherapy. The goal of hyperthermia research is to improve the efficacy and safety of cancer treatments and ultimately improve patient outcomes. Researchers in this field study different methods of delivering heat to tumors, optimizing treatment protocols, and exploring the mechanisms underlying the anti-cancer effects of hyperthermia.
