Halifax doctor shocked by success of using heat to force cancer cell death

Excerpt from the Press Release:

There could be another option to treat cancer in the future, after a human trial proved to be extremely successful by raising the temperature of a tumour to kill it off.

Dr. Carmen Giacomantonio, the chief medical officer for Halifax-based Sona Nanotech, used the idea that a fever helps kick-start the body’s immune system by raising its core temperature. He told The Todd Veinotte Show that when people get fevers, they get rid of them, but what’s happening is the immune system is becoming active.

“We’ve capitalized on an evolutionary benefit that humans have…The immune system, the one you were born with,” Giacomantonio said.

A person’s immune system will start attacking foreign cells, and the effect is “very powerful,” he said. Some doctors have noted that when treating cancer patients, those who get sick with an infection, their cancer can go away. This idea intrigued Giacomantonio, who also learned how a doctor over a century ago would infect people to create a fever to get rid of cancer.
