The Tumor Hyperthermia Center of Shenzhen Huaqiao Hospital is a National Tumor Hyperthermia Demonstration Base,under the leadership of Vice President and Tumor Center Director Professor Dong Wenguang,comprehensive tumor treatment technology has reached an advanced national level.Tumor hyperthermia, following surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy,is internationally recognized as the fifth major green tumor control method,and is highly favored by patients,with the tumor center frequently experiencing waiting lists for appointments.
As a National Tumor Hyperthermia Demonstration Base, the Tumor Hyperthermia Center of Shenzhen Huaqiao Hospital,serves as the chairman unit of the Tumor Hyperthermia Professional Committee of the Shenzhen Anti-Cancer Association,and is a benchmark leader in the field of hyperthermia in South China and even nationwide.Hyperthermia can be used as a standalone treatment,or combined with minimally invasive interventional techniques.Now,the Tumor Hyperthermia Center has undergone a comprehensive equipment upgrade,not only renewing existing equipment,but also introducing Shenzhen's first,and China's only radiofrequency hyperthermia system integrating both local and whole-body thermal therapy.
So what is hyperthermia?Hyperthermia converts physical energy into thermal energy,to precisely heat tumor tissue.Normal cells or tissues can survive at 46-47 degrees for 2 to 6 hours,while tumor cells rapidly undergo apoptosis at 42-43 degrees.Therefore, hyperthermia is characterized by being green, painless, non-invasive, and precise.
Professor Dong Wenguang, Vice President and Director of Oncology at Shenzhen Huaqiao Hospital, explains,tumor hyperthermia is different from simple physical therapy,it is a uniquely advantageous model in integrated tumor treatment.Preoperative hyperthermia can reduce intraoperative bleeding,and facilitate smooth separation of tumor tissue,When combined with minimally invasive intervention,iodine-125 seed implantation,radiofrequency ablation,cryoablation,and traditional Chinese medicine,it can achieve a 1+1>2 effect.simultaneously,For advanced-stage patients with no other treatment options,hyperthermia can help patients preserve physical strength and bone marrow function for subsequent surgeries and other treatments.
Patients with severe heart failure and those with cardiac pacemakers or stents are not suitable for hyperthermia.Hyperthermia has contraindications,but its indications are very broad.Hyperthermia is not only applicable to malignant tumor treatment,but also effective for various acute and chronic inflammation,intestinal adhesions,recurrent intestinal obstruction,soft tissue injuries, and other non-tumor diseases,Different conditions and lesions of varying depths,can all be treated through deep hyperthermia or local hyperthermia.
The Tumor Hyperthermia Center of Shenzhen Huaqiao Hospital currently leads multi-center research with domestic hospitals that have hyperthermia systems,and has formed a close community with global hyperthermia organizations,conducting online and offline exchanges on tumor hyperthermia,Here,patients can enjoy one-stop, integrated, multidisciplinary treatment without having to travel around.
