How does Verthermia
help you?

HEATT® utilizes high temperatures and dialysis to restore and balance the body’s natural chemistry. By detoxifying the blood using a filter, HEATT® is a natural treatment for ovarian cancer that supports the body’s ability to fight cancer cells.

What is HEATT®?

Verthermia® provides Hyperthermic Extracorporeal Applied Tumor Therapy (HEATT®), a patented, whole-body hyperthermia cancer treatment to extend and enhance daily living for cancer patients.

Why 42° Celsius?

42° C has been scientifically identified as an optimal temperature because it can damage cancer cells while providing minimal harm to healthy cells.

How HEATT® Works

1. Administration of Anesthesia: Patients are put under general anesthesia to ensure they are comfortable throughout the ovarian cancer treatment therapy.

2. Blood Heating: The patient’s blood is withdrawn and heated using FDA-approved devices in an external circuit. It is then returned within a large vein to the right heart.

3. Distribution of Heat: The right heart pumps the heated blood to the lungs, which act like a radiator to evenly distribute the heat. The blood is then returned to the left heart.

4. Patient Body Heating: The left heart pumps the heated blood to the whole body, including insulated and isolated areas.

5. Detoxification of Blood: Using dialysis to restore and balance the body’s natural chemistry, the blood is then detoxified by a filter.

KILLING CANCER CELLS

Hyperthermia is the best ovarian cancer treatment using temperatures exceeding the physiologically optimal level, typically 40–43 °C. It kills cancer cells without harming normal cells. It may also make the cancer cells more sensitive to other cancer treatments like radiation and chemotherapy. It may be used on a small area of cells, such as a tumor, or parts of the body, such as an organ or limb. Cell death from exposure to heat is a function of both the intensity of the applied heat and the time of exposure.

Non-Invasive Mechanics

HEATT® provides whole-body hyperthermia cancer treatment through a perfusion based procedure that does not involve surgical resection of tumors or radiation.

DATA-DRIVEN TREATMENT

At Verthermia®, we believe that everyone should have access to effective cancer treatments. Our clinical trials to date have shown positive patient outcomes with whole-body hyperthermia treatment.

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.

Our team of experienced medical professionals conducts the HEATT® procedure, ensuring the highest standards of care, safety, and affordable hyperthermia cancer treatment cost.

Preparation involves a thorough medical evaluation and consultation with our specialists to tailor the treatment to your needs.

Yes, HEATT® uses all FDA-approved devices and follows strict safety protocols. FDA-Approval came without comment or reservation. 

HEATT therapy is designed to address all   cancers. To confirm if it’s the right option for your specific case, we recommend consulting with our medical team, who are here to guide you with expertise and care.
