How heat helps to treat cancer (chemo, survival, tumors, cure)

[Brian.Pearson]

Research at Bangor University has identified a switch in cells that may help to kill tumors with heat. Prostate cancer and other localized tumors can be effectively treated by a combination of heat and an anti-cancer drug that damages the genes. Behind this novel therapy is the enigmatic ability of heat to switch off essential survival mechanisms in human cells. Although thermotherapy is now more widely used, the underlying principles are still unclear.

Interesting.

I've asked my oncologist to look into this; to see if she's heard of it.

very interesting. I guess that may be partly why heated chemo lavage works well on many people.

it is indeed a very intresting research! heat procedures are now rapidly adopted by many of the cancer cure centres. It is either generated by hypotermia using radio frequecy or ultraviolate rays or by carefully creating controlled fever, as there's a concept that during these stages the immune system acts htpersensitively and attack the abnormal cancer cells.

Your "facts" are quite confused. Hypothermia is a LOWERING of the body temperature.
