Hyperthermia is a rapidly developing treatment method in cancer- and tumor-therapy. HOT-OncoTherm is dealing with a new and highly effective hyperthermia method: OncoThermia. Conventional hyperthermia applies heat to achieve curative influence. The consequence of the regional overheating is the higher metabolism in the tumor-region. The expected effect was mainly to change the pH-environment of the malignant tissue by the elevated temperature based on the higher rate of metabolism, accompanied with the lack of the increased blood perfusion. The consequential oxygen deprivation and nutrient impoverishment will generate massive acidosis because of the anaerobic energy production. This mechanism denatures the enzymes...

Utilization of thermal energy in various medical procedures and treatments is rather an ancient approach, well known and wide spread for decades. Application of heat onto tissue causes vasodilatation and increased blood flow in a given area, improves nutrition and oxygen supplying of the local cells and consequentially leads to higher rates of metabolism in a given tissue. Additional effects of thermal therapy are decreased pain and muscle spasm, as well as certain changes in pH values of extracellular environment locally. All of these characteristics have been used in many medical fields and branches as an integrated procedure in...
