Product information
“What treatment reduces physical and psychological burdens on patients?”
“What treatment is compatible with radiation therapy and chemotherapy and can be combined with them?”
“What treatment can be consistently implemented throughout the treatment period, including standard treatment and palliative care?”
These are what cancer patients and physicians have been longing for.
Hyperthermia is a method for cancer treatment developed based on knowledge in molecular biology and thermal physiology.
THERMOTRON-RF8, which non-invasively applies radio-frequency energy to cancer tissues, is a pioneer in the field of hyperthermia in the world, and has been selected as a leading treatment device by significant numbers of physicians and health care institutions with a keen eye for effective cancer treatment options.
Hyperthermia using dielectric heating to appropriately apply heat to lesions
Based on the results of long-term research and development, RF (radio frequency) of 8 MHz, which is between the frequencies used for AM radios and those for FM radios and best suited for heating the body of a patient, has been adopted for THERMOTRON-RF8. A radio-frequency（8 MHz） electric current is applied to the body through a pair of electrodes attached to the front and back, and the generated Joule heat increases the temperature of the affected site – the capacitive system.

Primary characteristics 1Heating technology
High-frequency waves of 8 MHz appropriately transfer energy even to deep-seated cancer to heat it, and directly eliminate cancer tissues.
-
Primary characteristics 2Human-oriented design for treatment providers and patients
The security and comfort of patients and to help health professionals concentrate on treatment
