The recent Annual Meeting of ESHO (European Society for Hyperthermic Oncology), November 6-8, 2024, showcased significant developments in hyperthermic oncology, with particular emphasis on combined treatment protocols and technical and clinical quality assurance.

Guy's Cancer Center at King's College London has initiated an important clinical trial investigating thermography-controlled wIRA superficial hyperthermia using the hydrosun®TWH1500 system. This prospective study examines the real-world implementation of thermotherapy in conjunction with standard palliative radiotherapy.

On September 19th, Markus Notter presented “40 years of hyperthermia and radiotherapy: A personal experience” at the 28th annual meeting of the SASRO in Sursee/Switzerland.

The radiation oncologist Markus Notter – who worked for many years at the Cantonal Hospital of Aarau, then at the Hôpitale Cantonale La-Chaux-de-Fonds, and now at the Lindenhofspital Bern – is one of the pioneers who began working in the field of hyperthermia in combination with radiotherapy already in the early 1980s.

Great annual meeting of American STM in Houston - lots of interesting presentations and discussions!
