Hyperthermia-the artificial inducement of abnormally high blood temperature-is designed to cause tumor tissue to retain heat and has additive or synergistic effects with radiation and chemotherapy. Because of the clinically administered high temperature, cancer patients often experience pain and discomfort. In the study described in this article, 30 cancer patients undergoing hyperthermia treatment as part of their overall cancer care were administered the Millon Behavioral Health Inventory to determine which of them were able to tolerate the hyperthermia regimen. It was found that the patients who were more hopeful about the future, less sensitive, more cooperative, more forceful, less responsive to pain, and less emotionally reactive were more tolerant of the hyperthermia treatment. |
