New book documents MIT breast cancer therapy
A few posts (see below) have touched on the subject of heat to treat breast cancer.
In this more recent article the results of a small clinical trial using focused microwaves as a source of heat are presented. It claims less "collateral damage" & better outcomes in clearing surgical margins.
An other small trial combining hyperthermia & chemotherapy is demonstrating deeper reduction in tumor size compared to chemo alone.
More trials are planed.
