Hyperthermia therapy(or hyperthermia, or thermotherapy) is a type of medical treatment in which body tissue is exposed to temperatures above body temperature, in the region of 40–45 °C (104–113 °F). Hyperthermia is usually applied as an adjuvant to radiotherapy or chemotherapy, to which it works as a sensitizer, in an effort to treat cancer.[1][2]
Hyperthermia uses higher temperatures than diathermy and lower temperatures than ablation.[3] When combined with radiation therapy, it can be called thermoradiotherapy.
