For the first time in Vietnam, the method of supporting cancer treatment by thermotherapy has been applied at Vinmec Times City International General Hospital. Having been applied at cancer centers in many advanced countries such as the US, Japan, and Germany, this method has shown to significantly increase treatment effectiveness. So which cancers can thermotherapy be applied to?

Treating cancer that has spread is a huge challenge - especially when it is no longer sensitive to conventional treatments, and the ability to kill cancer cells is not very hopeful. In this context, combination thermotherapy (or hyperthermia) is considered effective in all stages, both in cases of relapse or failure of other methods.

Heat therapy for cancer treatment is based on the mechanism of increasing temperature to destroy malignant cells. So at what temperature do cancer cells die and does this temperature affect healthy cells?
