“The 34th Annual Conference of the International Clinical Hyperthermia Society (ICHS) was held in Pesaro, Italy on September 22nd 2016. The meeting was very successful with more than 100 attending doctors and Prof. Giammaria Fiorentini was its chairman. The Conference was dedicated to the memory of Dr. Gianfranco Baronzio, a pioneer of hyperthermia, who suddenly deceased this year due to heart attack. …”

“Opening ceremony of “New-Hope” clinic 1997. Textbook for integrative oncology. Hyperthermia is anexcellent non-toxic anti-cancer method that should be a part of the treatment of almost any cancer patient, with or without other treatment methodes. …”

“Hyperthermia is a perfect, capable method in oncology. However, we need further development and think about the decisional points. Development of tumor resistance against chemo-therapy. …”

“Pre-requisites of the study: - Lung cancer is a fatal disease with one of the least 5-year survivals among all cancers (14-17% in USA and 12-14% in EU). - In Russia (2012), share of lung cancer is 18,7% in men and 3,6% in women, and it is the first reason of cancer mortality in Russia (17,3% of all cancer deaths). - Current treatments show low efficacy and can’t change the trend of high mortality. –-Thus, study of possibilities to improve the prognosis in lung cancer is of outstanding significance in oncology. …”

“South Africa. Limited resources – not enough Linacs, - PET and CT machines were not working for 6 months. Poverty – Transport problems, - Missed appointments, - Lost to follow ups. Patients present at advanced stage of disease. Immunocompromised – Can’t use Cisplatin as a radiosensitiser. … “

“The quality of the study design is an important issue. Per my view, the applied full protocol of radiotherapy by high-brachytherapy, with dose 74 Gy and increased cisplatin - in principle, is the best international protocol for cervix carcinoma. In this study, made by Dr. C. Minnaar, Oncothermia shows significantly better local control after evaluating 100 patients (42%).

“Pakistan has the highest breast cancer rate among Asian countries. Young women also have been diagnosed with advanced stage of breast cancer. In rural areas, women are also developing breast cancers every year because it is an inherited disease, which transmits from mother to daughter. These views were expressed by Adeel Ahmed, Manager Marketing and Administration at the Oncothermia Clinics, during an awareness programme about breast cancer at the Lyceum school, held on Thursday. The programme was arranged by Sara Shafi, student of A-Level at the Lyceum School. …”

„Teil A. Die Oncothermie in sehr gut verträglichen lokalen, lokoregionären und systemischen Therapiekombinationen Nicht „am Leben vorbei überleben“ zu müssen, sondern Lebensqualität praktisch uneingeschränkt auch während einer erfolgreichen Krebstherapie samt nachfolgender Remission genießen zu können, ist zu einem wesentlichen und immer häufiger erreichbaren Ziel der Elektrohyperthermie bzw. Oncothermie geworden. …”

“In recent years, as the development of integrative cancer treatments, hyperthermia and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) have become significant methods of treating cancer, and the immune regulating effects of them have attracted more and more attentions. In this text, depending on the clinical research data of Clifford Hospital from 2009 to 2013, research progress of hyperthermia in the world, and research achievements of TCM, we discussed the immune regulating effect of hyperthermia in combination with TCM on cancer patients, and its potentiality in anticancer treatments. …”

“Oncothermia is a kind of hyperthermia in oncology. Its efficacy is successfully proven for different advanced cancer localizations, frequently when other therapies fail. Clinical studies and results show its advantages in oncology. Oncothermia is a self-selective process to concentrate the energy on malignant cells targeting their cellular membrane, using the temperature gradient to generate heat-flow between the extra- and intracellular electrolytes, acting to ignite apoptotic processes from outer signal-pathways.
