Hyperthermia - (for more information on this subject, please click here)
Hyperthermia, a procedure in which body tissue is exposed to high temperatures (up to 106 F). Heat may help shrink tumors by damaging cells or depriving them of substances they need to live. Hyperthermia is almost always used with other forms of therapy (radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and biological therapy) to try to increase their effectiveness. Local hyperthermia refers to heat that is applied to a very small area, such as a tumor.

CHART(Continuous Hyperfractionated Accelerated Radiation Therapy) -
(for more information of this subject, please click here) Instead of being treated Mon. thru Fri. once a day, the treatment is condensed into 12 straight days three times a day 8am 12pm and 8pm with the same total dose as if the patient would have gotten 40 treatments over a month and a half of once a day treatments. Survival rates are greater treating this way with minimal side effects.

Daily Radiation Treatments - (for more information on this subject, please click here)
Radiation therapy is usually given 5 days a week for several weeks. This schedule helps to protect healthy body tissue by extending the total dosage of radiation over a longer period of time and giving weekend rest breaks in which normal cells can rebuild.

CAT Scans - (for more information on this subject, please click here)CAT is an acronym for "computerized axial tomography." CAT has been replaced with a new acronym, CT, that simply stands for "computed tomography." Tomography is the process of making an image of a plane through the body. A CAT scan or a CT scan is a procedure that uses x rays, radiation detectors, and computers to produce images of planes through the body.
