These prestigious cancer treatment centers have a long-standing tradition of offering world-class cancer care and treatment in the United States. The addition of hyperthermia therapy to each institution as an adjuvant to traditional cancer treatment demonstrates leadership in cancer awareness, diagnosis and management.
The BSD-500 systems purchased by these cancer institutions are employed to treat various types of cancer. Hyperthermia is used to make cancer cells more sensitive to radiation as well as destroy cancer cells directly. In Phase III clinical trials where hyperthermia was combined with radiation, hyperthermia improved 2-year local control of melanoma from 28% to 46%, complete response for recurrent breast cancer from 23% to 68% and the 5-year survival rate from 0% to 53% in patients with head and neck cancer, compared to the use of radiation therapy alone.
BSD Medical Corp. is the leading developer of systems used to deliver hyperthermia therapy for the treatment of cancer. Hyperthermia therapy is used to kill cancer directly and increase the effectiveness of companion radiation treatments for certain tumors.
