 | | Hyperthermia is the use of heat to treat cancer. | | | While hyperthermia is a promising way to enhance cancer treatment, it is largely an experimental technique at this time and is not commonly used in cancer treatment. | | | The possible side effects of hyperthermia depend on the technique being used and the part of the body being treated. |
