Induction of fever as a therapeutic modality has been used since ancient times. Elevated body temperatures have been recognized as beneficial components of the defense immune response against pathogenic stimuli since ancient Rome, with the notion of treating human cancers with heat dates back to the writings of Hippocrates. However, heat as a treatment modality for cancer has only begun to be evaluated rigorously over the past few decades. There is a renewed interest in the application of heat to enhance the efficiency of standard cancer therapies, such as chemotherapy and radiation treatment.

Recent research revealed significant clinical effects. Hyperthermia per se can kill malignant cells by induction of necrobiosis and apoptosis with the thermal factor, reducing tolerance of malignant cells to chemotherapy. More importantly, whole body hyperthermia can activate the immune systems.

The combination of modern immunotherapy with hyperthermia for treating cancer is particularly promising, as significant clinical effects of hyperthermia have been attributed to the immune system.

At Omega Precision Oncology clinic, we use infrared radiation device to achieve therapeutic whole body hyperthermia.

During FRWBH session, core temperature and pulse rate, blood pressures are constantly monitored and recorded electronically to make the treatment safe. Mean time, the patient can receive an intravenous of vitamin C to enhance the benefits.
