With years of scientific research, Verthermia® has perfected the procedure of HEATT® with the use of our transformational whole-body hyperthermia machine and system. Our HEATT® circuit is a heart and lung machine with a recirculating dialysate system, charcoal filtration and pCO2/pH control, which are all FDA-approved components. The HEATT® procedure circulates blood throughout the body at 20 percent cardiac output for 50 minutes to heat the patient’s blood. As we continue to monitor the patient, we maintain the temperature of the blood at 42° C for two hours while cancer cells are destroyed or damaged. Using our HEATT® system, we are able to utilize a unique combination of advanced safety features, comprehensive monitoring tools, and precise delivery technology to ensure that each patient receives the best and safest possible whole-body hyperthermia cancer treatment.
HYPERTHERMIA CANCER TREATMENT
What is HEATT®?
Verthermia® provides Hyperthermic Extracorporeal Applied Tumor Therapy (HEATT®), a patented, whole-body hyperthermia treatment to extend and enhance daily living.

THE VERTHERMIA® DIFFERENCE
Revolutionizing
Cancer Treatment
The main difference between HEATT® and other hyperthermia treatments is that we heat the blood directly and tightly control body temperature while normalizing fluids, electrolytes, and pH balance. HEATT® uses the patient’s own blood for whole-body hyperthermia to conduct heat rather than using typical conduction or convection methods. Localized and regional methods don’t address cancers spread to the bloodstream, nor can they safely reach an internal temperature of 42°C (107.6°F). HEATT therapy, validated by our FDA-approved clinical trials, is the only whole-body hyperthermia treatment proven to achieve this temperature safely and effectively across the entire body.
KILLING CANCER CELLS
The HEATT® Procedure
For over thirty years, Verthermia® has worked to perfect the procedure of HEATT®. We prioritize safety by closely monitoring vitals during the entire cancer treatment procedure as we heat the body. With this heat, we target cancerous cells as blood circulates. HEATT® has demonstrated a positive immune response, which enhances the body’s natural defense system in addition to directly fighting the cancer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, HEATT therapy has been shown to be both safe and effective, as demonstrated in our FDA-approved clinical trial without comment or reservation!
HEATT® can be used to treat all kinds of cancers as well as various other diseases. Please reach out to our team of medical experts and we will discuss if HEATT® is right for you.
Most patients stay in the hospital for about 3-4 days, depending on individual recovery needs. Post-treatment care takes place in the recovery room at First Baptist Medical Center and is included as part of the process.
Research from 2017 indicates that the Lyme disease bacteria, Borrelia burgdorferi, struggles at elevated temperatures—becoming immobile at 102.2°F, losing structural integrity at 104°F, and being fully eradicated at 106.9°F for two hours. HEATT therapy safely reaches 107.6°F and, when combined with antibiotics, offers a comprehensive approach to tackling the bacteria.
Whole-body hyperthermia, as used in HEATT therapy, raises the body’s temperature to a therapeutic level, making it suitable for systemic conditions. Localized or regional hyperthermia, on the other hand, targets heat to a specific tumor or area, focusing only on the isolated cancer/Tumor sites. Localized and regional methods don’t address cancers spread to the bloodstream, nor can they safely reach an internal temperature of 42°C (107.6°F). HEATT therapy, validated by our FDA-approved clinical trials, is the only whole-body hyperthermia treatment proven to achieve this temperature safely and effectively across the entire body.
Treatments are performed in the operating room at First Baptist Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. We regularly care for patients from across the U.S. and beyond, offering a reliable setting for your treatment.
The frequency of HEATT® treatments depends on the individual heat treatment for cancer designed by our medical team.
