Compatible with surgery. Oncothermia has application in the post-surgical context to treat possible cells released by biopsy or surgery. Oncothermy automatically targets the malignant tissues at their multiple sites, without treating the healthy tissue in between. The modulated radiofrequency (RF) current flows only through the malignant tissues. In addition, the cancer cell is weak to heat. This is why good results are obtained with this treatment.
Oncothermia treatment helps to reduce the size of the tumor so that it can be operable. It is indicated in those cases in which the size of the tumor is inoperable at the beginning. Oncothermia treatment can be performed until the intervention and also as a rehabilitative and recuperative post-surgical treatment. Surgery and Oncothermia are compatible treatments.
