It is proven that heat can kill cancer cells and damage the blood vessels inside of tumours. Hyperthermia treatment uses high temperatures to treat such areas. The damage to cells during hyperthermia can make them more sensitive to the effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy so these treatments work better, according to the Canadian Cancer Society. Loco-regional hyperthermia (LRHT) generates heat within a localized area of the body, such as a tumour with radio frequencies. These frequencie

What Is Hyperthermia? - Definition, Causes & Symptoms & Treatment

Hyperthermia heightens the power of radiation therapy and chemotherapy without adversely impacting healthy cells, which means patients only benefit from including hyperthermia therapy in their treatment plan. Click to learn if Hyperthermia is right for you. | Hyperthermia Cancer Institute - HCI

Triggers: Succinylcholine, volatile anesthetics. Mechanism: RYR1/CACNA1S mutation → uncontrolled Ca²⁺ release → sustained muscle contraction. Early signs: ↑ EtCO₂ (earliest), muscle rigidity, tachycardia, acidosis. Late signs: Hyperthermia, rhabdomyolysis, hyperkalemia → arrhythmias, myoglobinuria. Diagnosis: Clinical; labs
