Grade 4 brain cancer with 60% removed and the other 40% going across the corpus collasum to the left side will the new heat therapy treatment work?

Probably not: Unfortunately despite all the research and advancement in medicine, we have not made much progress in treatment of grade 4 gliomas.

Hyperthermia : Was tried in combination with radiation after surgery many years ago with mixed results. This was a lower dose heat to make the radiation work better. A new laser hyperthermia (auto-litt) is high heat which causes damage on its own. Early results are promising, but do not appear to be better than radiation and chemo which is the standard. All patients with gbm should be on a trial if possible.
