'''Hyperthermia''' is the elevation of body temperature beyond normal ranges. While hyperthermia can refer to a life-threatening complication<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthermia Wikipedia - Hyperthermia]</ref>, intentional hyperthermia has been studied for his possible benefits for the [[immune system]], [[cardiovascular system]], as a [[cancer]] adjuvant, and for increasing physical endurance. ==Types of hyperthermia== Body temperature can be raised endogenously, such as through a [[fever]]. [[Sauna]], hot baths, and [[exercise]] also raise body temperature. ==Physiological effects== ===Immune system=== ===Cardiovascular system=== ==Possible health benefits== ===As a cancer adjuvant=== There have been numerous in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrating the potential of mild hyperthermia to sensitize cancerous tumorous to chemotherapy and radiation.<ref name="cancerhyperthermia2010" /> ===In Chronic Fatigue Syndrome=== ==See also== ==Resources== ==References== <references> <ref name="cancerhyperthermia2010">{{Citation| doi = 10.1007/s12026-009-8115-8| issn = 0257-277X| volume = 46 | issue = 1-3| pages = 137β154| last1 = Peer | first1 = Adrienne J. | last2 = Grimm | first2 = Melissa J. | last3 = Zynda | first3 = Evan R. | last4 = Repasky | first4 = Elizabeth A.| title = Diverse immune mechanisms may contribute to the survival benefit seen in cancer patients receiving hyperthermia| journal = Immunologic Research| access-date = 2016-11-09| date = 2010-03-01| url = http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12026-009-8115-8}}</ref> </references> [[Category:Potential treatments]] [[Category:Signs and symptoms]]
