Balancing treatment efficacy and Quality of Life

Balancing treatment efficacy and Quality of Life

There is growing recognition that improving Quality of Life for cancer patients an important goal of healthcare is. This includes balancing the effects of a therapy.

Our system allows controlled heating of the target region, while at the same time preserving the surrounding tissue and organs. Localized heating is generated by an integrated system of microwave sources controlled by interactive software. The tight control we provide is the next generation of hyperthermia solutions, which we termed thermotherapy.

This thermotherapy system treats solid cancers in combination with traditional therapies, such a radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy, thereby enhancing the clinical outcome or lowering toxicity.

The interactive software allows the therapist to make adjustments during treatment based on feedback from sensors and the patient. The patient can give feedback comfortably to the therapist in order to make the treatment favourable and acceptable for the patient. This adaptive treatment enables the therapist to interact with patients to improve the Quality of Life achieved.

This cooperation between therapist, patient and interactive adaptation is what we call a balanced treatment.
