The Low Temperature Hyperthermia System illuminates nano-particles, which are implanted in a living organism at the locus of the cancer or into the cancer cells, with a precisely determined energy field. This energy field ensures that the optimal cancer cell and cancer stem cell destruction temperature of 42° C. is not exceeded in the tissue, which minimizes the release of Heat Shock Proteins and cancer stem cells. The Low Temperature Hyperthermia System uses specially designed nano-particles that exhibit a specific temperature rise in a given illumination energy field and then have no further temperature rise even if the applied illumination energy field increases beyond the optimal level. Alternatively, the nano-particles exhibit a tightly controlled temperature rise based on a pre-determined illumination energy field strength. This innovative approach can also use radiation and/or chemotherapy in conjunction with the nano-particle illumination to kill the majority of the cancer cells.
