Hyperthermia, or the elevation of tumor temperature through the
use of microwave energy, helps address the limitations of radiotherapy
for many patients with advanced cancer. NEW YORK, New York University's School of
Continuing and Professional Studies (NYU SCPS) is launching the University's
first wholly online undergraduate degrees for adult students.
"More importantly," Finney continues, "NYU Online uniquely presents a full
blend of educational techniques that create the best possible learning
environment for adult students, whether in class or online. in Instructional

Patients were randomized to

experienced chest wall recurrence following radiation may believe
there are no options to consider because they have not heard of
hyperthermia or discussed it with their physician.

According to the study published in the May 1 edition of the
Journal of Clinical Oncology, patients with post-mastectomy chest wall
recurrence of breast cancer who were given hyperthermia (HT) treatment
(heat therapy) as an adjunct to standard radiation experienced
complete response (total disappearance of the tumor) at a rate nearly
three times higher than those patients who received radiation
treatment alone. Across all tumor

from Duke University Medical Center have authored a landmark report in
the latest issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology which describes a
striking clinical advantage in the use of hyperthermia, or heat
therapy, as an adjuvant to radiation therapy for patients with
post-mastectomy chest wall recurrence, in comparison to patients who
have been treated with radiotherapy alone. This study was conducted by principal author
