The Tumor Hyperthermia Center of Shenzhen Huaqiao Hospital isNational Demonstration Base for Tumor Hyperthermia，Under the leadership of Vice President and Director of the Oncology Center Professor Dong Wenguang, the comprehensive tumor treatment technology has reached an advanced national level.Tumor hyperthermia is internationally recognized as the fifth major green tumor control method following surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. It is highly favored by patients, and the oncology center frequently has waiting lists for appointments.
The Tumor Hyperthermia Center of Shenzhen Huaqiao Hospital, asNational Demonstration Base for Tumor Hyperthermia, chairperson of the Tumor Hyperthermia Professional Committee of the Shenzhen Anti-Cancer Association, is a leading in cancer mortalityand a benchmark leader in the field of hyperthermia in South China and even across the country.. Hyperthermia can be used as a standalone treatment or in combination with minimally invasive interventional techniques. Today, the Tumor Hyperthermia Center has undergone a comprehensive equipment upgrade, not only renewing existing equipment but also introducing Shenzhen’s first and the nation’s only radiofrequency hyperthermia system that integrates both local and whole-body tumor hyperthermia.
So what is hyperthermia??Hyperthermia converts physical energy into thermal energy to precisely heat tumor tissue. Normal cells or tissues can survive at46度47degrees for2到6hours, whereastumor cells undergo rapid apoptosis at42-43degrees.. Therefore,hyperthermia is characterized by being green, painless, non-invasive, and precise.
The Vice President and Director of Oncology at Shenzhen Huaqiao Hospital,Dong Wenguangexplained thattumor hyperthermia is different from simple physical therapy. It is a uniquely advantageous modality in integrative cancer treatment. Preoperative hyperthermia can reduce intraoperative bleeding and facilitate smooth dissection of tumor tissue. Whencombined with minimally invasive interventional therapy, iodine-125125seed implantation, radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, traditional Chinese medicine, and other techniques, it can also achieve1+1>2synergistic effects.. At the same time, for patients with advanced-stage disease who have no other treatment opportunities, hyperthermia can help them preserve physical strength and bone marrow function for subsequent treatments such as surgery.
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. It is not only applicable tomalignant tumortreatment of cancer, but also effective for various acute and chronic inflammatory conditions, intestinal adhesions, recurrent intestinal obstruction, soft tissue injuries, and other non-oncological diseases. Different conditions and lesions at different depths can all be treated through deep hyperthermia or local hyperthermia.
The Tumor Hyperthermia Center at Shenzhen Huaqiao Hospital currently leads a multi-center research initiative among domestic hospitals equipped with hyperthermia systems, and has formed a close partnership with global hyperthermia organizations to conduct online and offline exchanges on tumor hyperthermia. Here, patients can enjoy one-stop, integrated, multi-disciplinary treatment without having to travel around seeking care.
