Oncothermia EHY-2000: Latest technology

Oncothermia EHY-2000: Latest technology

Oncological Nanothermia or Oncothermia is a non-invasive modulated electromagnetic hyperthermia method, adjuvant in cancer treatment, which promotes a natural regulatory process of the body.

The Oncotherm® brand was founded in 1988 by Professor Dr. András Szász, as an initiative for the development and research of the electro-hyperthermia method in cancer treatment.

Oncothermia treatment began in Germany 25 years ago, and is currently used in more than 25 countries. It is important to note that in Germany alone equipment has been installed in 4 hospitals and in more than 50 clinics working effectively. In addition, each year more than 100,000 treatments are performed worldwide.

The latest generation model in Oncothermia is: EHY-2000. Currently there are other models of devices, but they do not guarantee the results obtained and investigated by Dr. András Szász.

At the Barcelona Oncothermia Unit you will find the latest technology to offer you the best results.

Clinical study of Oncothermia applied to a patient with malignant ascites

The clinical study “Oncothermia + intraperitoneal chemotherapy in malignant ascites: Phase II” (Local mEHT * + TCM Versus Intraperitoneal Chemoinfusion in Treatment of Malignant Ascites: Phase II RCT (OTMA-RII) of Prof. Pang, Clifford Hospital, Guangzhou, China) began to include patients in January 2014 and ended in March 2016. The research included two groups of 130 patients. The “experimental group” will be treated with: diet, Chinese herbal medicine and Oncothermia. Instead, the “control group” will be treated with chemotherapy.

We will be attentive to the conclusions of the study!

Oncothermia receives the patent as a “tumor vaccine”

Oncothermia como patente cáncer

Oncothermia receives the patent as a “tumor vaccine”

This treatment alerts our immune system by checking the cancer cells.

The Oncothermia EHY-2000 plus device received the patent, US 20150217099 A1 in August 2015, describing this treatment as “a tumor vaccine”. It refers to “a vaccine” because it stimulates the immune system and radiofrequency promotes apoptosis or cell death of tumor cells.

Oncothermia is effective for the primary tumor and its metastases. Therefore, it has a local and systemic effect.

Procedure of action of the “vaccine”

The applied technique is called Modulated Electro-Hyperthermia (mEHT). The cancer cells in our body when treated with mEHT produce “heat shock proteins” when they are heated. This treatment alerts our immune system by checking the cancer cells. In this way, these cells are recognized by our immune system and eliminate them.

We all have approximately 1000 cancer cells that circulate in our body every day. Those with a weak immune system can develop a tumor.

In conclusion

For patients diagnosed with cancer, Oncothermia is an excellent option for immunotherapy to complement conventional treatments: surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy, in an integrative oncology framework.

Oncothermia versus hyperthermia: cellular effects in complementary treatments of cancer

Oncothermia versus Hyperthermia: cellular effects in complementary cancer treatments.

Oncothermia is based on the Hyperthermia method, frequently used for cancer treatments. But unlike conventional Hyperthermia, Oncothermia, in addition to producing an absolute increase in the temperature of the deep tissue layers, also combines the action of the modulated electric field, with a carrier frequency of 13.56MHz, which is generated by two electrodes assets.

This electric field allows an absorption of energy in the extracellular fluid (ECM), and the imbalance and destructuration of the membrane of the cancer cells achieving important effects at only 38ºC.

Selective capacity of Oncothermia with respect to Hyperthermia

Microbiological studies have shown that cancerous tissues have a greater conductivity in relation to healthy tissues, due to metabolic differences. It is for this reason that the electric field tends to flow preferentially in the malignant tumor tissue, selecting the cells to be treated.

The natural activity of malignant cells is inhibited, dying by apoptosis, that is, by a natural process of cell death induced by the immune system without overloading toxins in the body; unlike necrosis, pathological cell death, produced in conventional hyperthermia.

Conclusion

While conventional hyperthermia disperses heat, oncothermia focuses on the tumor, captures cancer cells by the frequency they emit, focusing it and making it more effective.

Oncothermia in combination with Radiotherapy exerts a radiosensitizing effect in lung cancer.

efecto radiosensibilizante en el Cáncer de PulmónOncothermia in combination with Radiotherapy exerts a radiosensitizing effect in lung cancer.

The sensitivity of tumors to radiotherapy and chemotherapy is increased by Oncothermia.

Oncothermia, also known as electro-hyperthermia, is a new treatment modality that allows for increased sensitivity to other treatments. It has been developed to overcome the problems of traditional hyperthermia by targeting malignant tissues.

A study was published in 2015 in the journal Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine. It reports the outcome of combined oncothermia and RT in a 75-year-old patient with stage IIIB non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Due to the advanced age and the performance status of the patient, the combination of systemic chemotherapy and RT was deemed infeasible. Therefore, the patient instead decided to undergo oncothermia concurrently with definitive RT.

The RT was administered at a dose of 64.8 Gy in 36 fractions using a three-dimensional conformal plan technique. In this case, Oncothermia was started concomitantly with RT. And was performed for 60 min per session, two sessions per week, for a total of 12 sessions.

Follow-up computed tomography showed complete tumor response. And the patient was alive with no evidence of the disease 18 months after the completion of the treatment.

In conclusion, the present case report suggests that oncothermia combined with RT has former possessing radiosensitizing potential and no additional toxicities. May be it is a promising alternative for advanced-age and/or frail patients with locally advanced NSCLC.

[message_box title=”Wilms tumour is the most common cause of kidney cancer in childhood and adolescence.” color=”red”]It also carries a mortality rate of 7-8 in one million. The 5-year survival rate for kidney cancer is 77.2 – 87.5%. When Wilms tumour progresses, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are conventionally used as the only treatments.[/message_box]

Clinical case

A 17-year-old Korean woman was treated from October 25, 2014, until July 22, 2015 with an integrating medical treatment, in order to control the extent of her illness.

The integrative medical treatment included: oncothermia, thymosin-α1 and phytotherapy. Phytotherapy was administered in 8 ml. of inhalation of Soram nebulizer solution qd, Soramdan S 8 g po, Hangamdan S 1 g po, tid, Cheongjangtang 10-30 ml, and Spiam HC 8 g po. She received Oncothermia (2-3 times a week) and 1.6 mg of treatment with thymosin-α1 (Zadaxin) i.m.

Result

According to the result of the CT on July 15, 2015, the liver metastasis was no longer seen, while the lung metastasis remained stable without tumor progression.

Conclusion

In patterns of Wilms tumor progression after surgery and chemotherapy, integrative medical treatment can be significant for disease control.
