Headed up by Dr Carrie Minnaar, we are the only practice in sub-Saharan Africa offering Hyperthermia to oncology patients in a hospital setting. We offer specialised treatments in the form of modulated electro-hyperthermia. Modulated Electro-Hyperthermia, also known as Oncothermia, is a form of local Hyperthermia that is able to selectively heat up tumours using low frequency radio waves. The technique is suitable for tumours regardless of their depth or location in the body. Dr Carrie Minnaar first studied hyperthermia in Germany in 2009 and completed her PhD on hyperthermia in oncology at Wits in 2019. Currently, Dr Minnaar practices oncologic hyperthermia at the Wits Donald Gordon Medical Centre. As part of the Wits Donald Gordon Medical Centre in Johannesburg, we are actively involved in research and clinical trials on the use of Hyperthermia.
