Voorbeeld van een patiënte die lokale hyperthermie krijgt aangeboden tegen levermetastasen.
Twenty years ago, Teun van Vliet was twice an indoor world champion cyclist and in 1988 wore the yellow jersey in the Tour de France.
In 2001 he was diagnosed with a brain tumor and in 2006 an inoperable recurrence of the tumor was detected. Teun had another round of brain surgery (“debulking”) and also received radiation treatment. This caused him to lose his power of speech, and to some degree he also lost memory and coordination.Within conventional oncology, nothing could be done for him. He was told that he had a year left to live at the most. Teun and his girlfriend decided to seek a second opinion and they went to Cologne to consult with Dr. Gorter, who advised him to do local hyperthermia in combination with immune therapy.
Teun van Vliet’s remarkable recovery from end-stage primary brain cancer has been written up in the following book: Bindels, G. (2010). Teun van Vliet-Drank, Vrouwen, de Koers en de Dood. Leeuwarden, The Netherlands: Elikser B.V.
