Better temperature measurement during heat therapy for gynecological cancer
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device called a hyperthermia pelotte to measure vaginal temperature more accurately during heat therapy (hyperthermia) given alongside radiation for gynecological cancer. The goal is to improve the effectiveness and safety of treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older with gynecological cancer
- Your doctor has recommended external beam radiation therapy combined with deep heat therapy
- You are able to understand the study and give your written consent
- Your vaginal canal is at least 4 cm long
- You do not have a condition that would make it hard to follow the study or complete questionnaires

This trial tests adding whole-body heat treatment to standard chemotherapy for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has spread. The heat might make the chemotherapy work better.
This study collects information from cancer patients receiving hyperthermia treatment, which uses heat to help fight cancer. It helps doctors learn more about how well hyperthermia works and how safe it is.
This trial studies whether adding controlled heat (“hyperthermia”) to radiation therapy (or radiation with chemotherapy) can improve outcomes in advanced cervical cancer. It focuses on people who can safely receive intensive pelvic radiation and heat treatment.
This trial studies how a special heating radiation treatment (“hyperthermia radiotherapy”) affects quality of life in people whose breast cancer has come back in the chest area. It may help show whether this treatment approach is tolerable and beneficial for everyday well-being.
This trial studies adding “heat treatment” (hyperthermia) to standard bladder cancer care using radiation, sometimes with chemotherapy. It may help the radiation work better, but your eligibility depends on cancer stage, your general health, and certain heart and metal-safety issues.
This trial tests if adding heat therapy (hyperthermia) to standard chemotherapy and radiation helps treat rectal cancer that has high-risk features. Heat therapy is thought to make cancer cells more sensitive to treatment.
