Heat is more effective when combined with radiation. Many tumors are suspectible to hyperthermia and tumors can often be heated to higher temperatures than surrounding nomral tissues. Heat makes cells more sensitive to radiation by preventing them from repairing radiation damage. Hyperthermia and the other therapies are most effective if it is applied on the same day or the following day after the other treatments (chemotherapy, radiotherapy). |
