Heat Helps When Treating Tumors

Here’s some good news when it comes to treating cancer. German researchers have found that using heat to help treat tumors helps chemotherapy work better. Apparently when the tumors are “targeted with heat treatment” it increased the response of the chemo to about double. This was all without creating more harmful effects.

Just think of that. If you could reduce the amount of chemo someone received, how much quicker they might be able to recover. This is preliminary news and more research will need to be done, but it is definitely a step in the right direction.
