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.

GUIDED BY YEARS OF RESEARCH

History Behind HEATT®

Since the 1980s, Verthermia® has studied and refined HEATT®. Blood flows into our circuit, gently heats, then returns to the body as we raise the patient’s whole-body temperature to 42° Celsius (107.6°F) for 120 minutes to destroy, damage, or slow the growth of cancer cells. During HEATT®, the patient is closely monitored to ensure safety throughout the procedure.

REGULATED TEMPERATURE

Why 42° Celsius?

42° Celsius (107.6°F) for 120 minutes is the temperature at which whole-body hyperthermia is used to treat cancer. This heated environment creates an inhospitable environment for many types of cancer cells, killing, damaging or slowing their growth. This temperature can be accurately maintained within the patient’s body and is specifically chosen as it has been shown to achieve the best results for cancer treatment. At this temperature, some cancer cells become more sensitive to other treatments like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation; potentially making HEATT® a treatment option for those who have already tried conventional therapies without success.

INCREASED TREATMENT REACTIVITY

How Does HEATT® Impact Treatment?

Hyperthermia works by increasing the temperature of the cancer cells, accomplishing direct cell death, cell damage, or slowing the cancer cell growth of susceptible cells.

SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE

Why Choose HEATT®?

HEATT® stands out from other hyperthermia treatments due to its unique approach of heating the blood directly, closely controlling body temperature while restoring electrolyte balance and fluid levels. Instead of conduction or convection (external) heating methods, HEATT® employs a patient’s own blood to distribute heat for whole-body hyperthermia – a process that is non-invasive and completely free from any chemicals.

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that learning about the science of whole-body hyperthermia cancer treatment is important for cancer patients and their families. Here are some frequently asked questions that can help you make an informed and confident decision about HEATT®.
Whole-body hyperthermia has been used to treat a variety of solid cancers. Our largest experience to date is with ovarian and lung cancer but also breast, colorectal, pancreatic and sarcoma.
Whole-body hyperthermia has been studied as a possible cancer treatment since the early 1900s. In recent years, modern technology has enabled more accurate temperature control and monitoring of patients during whole-body hyperthermia treatments, which has opened up new possibilities. Our HEATT® process is a unique method of whole body hyperthermia treatment.
Currently HEATT Therapy is not covered by Medicaid or most insurance providers, though some hospital expenses may be covered depending on your provider. Our patients cover the out of pocket cost of our procedure, including the hospital stay, that is not covered by insurance. Please contact us for more information and to see if you qualify.
By utilizing our safe and precise application of heat to cancerous cells in order to achieve tumor destruction. Likewise, we may see a beneficial response from the body’s own defense mechanisms or increased sensitivity to other therapies.
HEATT® utilizes the patient’s own blood to deliver a precise heating process. Our team of specialists is trained and experienced in managing this procedure safely, yet as with all treatments there may be some risks involved – which will be discussed thoroughly prior to treatment.
Once the treatment is complete, you will rest for several hours afterward in a recovery setting. Listen to your body and give it time to recover. Some patients may experience fatigue or other side effects up to a few days after the treatment. You will stay in close contact with your care provider throughout the recovery process.
Our clinical trials have helped to refine the effectiveness of HEATT®. Through additional research and testing, we’ve been able to ensure that this innovative cancer treatment is as safe and effective as possible before offering it to our patients.
Hyperthermia treatments are conducted by a multidisciplinary team of medical professionals, including specialists in medicine, surgery, interventional radiology radiation and anesthesiology. This team works together to ensure that the patient is closely monitored throughout the entire treatment process.
