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 procedure.

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 Blood Heating: The patient’s blood is withdrawn and heated using FDA-approved devices in an external circuit.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.

If you or a loved one is facing advanced ovarian cancer, Verthermia® is here to provide guidance, hope, and healing. Contact us today at (516) 779-4761 to learn more about HEATT® and how it can make a difference in your cancer treatment journey.

KILLING CANCER CELLS

Hyperthermia is an adjuvant local anti-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.

Ovarian Cancer Results

Our ovarian cancer trial resulted in significant findings on the positive impacts of HEATT®. Patients overall experienced improved survival rates and daily living satisfaction.
