Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include cancer patients who are receiving hyperthermia as part of their treatment regimen.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with contraindications to hyperthermia, such as certain metal implants or mental health conditions that impair study participation, may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational registry collects data on cancer patients at Charité who are treated with hyperthermia alongside standard oncological therapies. The study aims to evaluate the therapeutic use of hyperthermia, tracking patient outcomes such as complications, disease status, and survival rates. Additionally, patients may participate in translational research to identify prognostic factors related to their response to hyperthermia treatment. A total of 1000 patients will be included in this registry to provide comprehensive insights into the effectiveness and safety of hyperthermia in cancer care.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of hyperthermia's role in cancer treatment, potentially improving patient outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of hyperthermia in cancer treatment has been explored, this registry approach is relatively novel and aims to systematically document outcomes.
