Everything about Thermotherapy totally explained
Thermotherapy, or therapy by induced localised
hyperthermia, may be used as a
cancer treatment to kill or weaken
tumor cells, with limited effects on healthy cells. Tumor cells, with a disorganized and compact
vascular structure, have difficulty dissipating heat. Hyperthermia may therefore cause cancerous cells to undergo
apoptosis in direct response to applied heat, while healthy cells can more easily maintain a normal temperature. Even if the cancerous cells don't die outright, they may become more susceptible to
ionizing radiation treatments or to certain
chemotherapies, allowing such therapy to be given in smaller doses. Numerous methods of thermotherapy exist, including including focused ultrasound,
infrared sauna, radio or microwave-frequency radiation, and magnetic nanoparticle therapy.
Thermotherapy may also be used in vine propagation to get rid of
viroids (particles smaller than viruses) which may affect the new vine.
Thermotherapy shouldn't be confused with
fever therapy using
Coley's Toxins. In fact, they're quite different.
