The company's methodology is based on the view of its founder that the heat-dose sensitive characterization of tissue is at the core of the oncothermia treatment. [1] The tumor tissue has lower impedance than the surrounding tissues, [citation needed] so most of the energy is transmitted and absorbed by the cancerous lesion. This selection of ...

Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a type of hyperthermia therapy used in combination with surgery in the treatment of advanced abdominal cancers. [1] In this procedure, warmed anti-cancer medications are infused and circulated in the peritoneal cavity (abdomen) for a short period of time.
Hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITOC) is part of a surgical strategy employed in the treatment of various pleural malignancies.The pleura in this situation could be considered to include the surface linings of the chest wall, lungs, mediastinum, and diaphragm.
Huang et al. investigated the feasibility of using gold nanorods for both cancer cell imaging as well as photothermal therapy. [2] The authors conjugated antibodies (anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies) to the surface of gold nanorods, allowing the gold nanorods to bind specifically to certain malignant cancer cells (HSC and HOC malignant cells).
