This section contains information about other cancer treatments including:
- Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy, which involves providing the body with extra oxygen and is sometimes used to treat a number of severe side effects of treatment for cancer.
- Hyperthermia treatment, which destroys cancer cells by raising the tumour temperature. It is mainly used as part of research trials and usually given with other cancer treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
- Photodynamic therapy (PDT) which uses laser, or other light sources, combined with light-sensitive drugs to destroy cancer cells.
