Hyperthermia can also be [[hyperthermia therapy|deliberately induced]] using drugs or medical devices, and is being studied and applied in clinical routine as a treatment of some kinds of [[cancer]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Therapy/hyperthermia |title=Hyperthermia in Cancer Treatment |publisher=[[National Cancer Institute]] |date=31 August 2011 |access-date=2 August 2015}}</ref> Research has shown that medically controlled hyperthermia can shrink tumours.<ref name="Jha 161–167">{{Cite journal |last1=Jha |first1=Sheetal |last2=Sharma |first2=Pramod Kumar |last3=Malviya |first3=Rishabha |date=2016-12-01 |title=Hyperthermia: Role and Risk Factor for Cancer Treatment |journal=Achievements in the Life Sciences |language=en |volume=10 |issue=2 |pages=161–167 |doi=10.1016/j.als.2016.11.004 |issn=2078-1520|doi-access=free }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Wust |first1=P |last2=Hildebrandt |first2=B |last3=Sreenivasa |first3=G |last4=Rau |first4=B |last5=Gellermann |first5=J |last6=Riess |first6=H |last7=Felix |first7=R |last8=Schlag |first8=PM |date=2002-08-01 |title=Hyperthermia in combined treatment of cancer |url=https://doi.org/10.1016/S1470-2045(02)00818-5 |journal=The Lancet Oncology |volume=3 |issue=8 |pages=487–497 |doi=10.1016/s1470-2045(02)00818-5 |pmid=12147435 |issn=1470-2045}}</ref> This occurs when a high body temperature damages cancerous cells by destroying proteins and structures within each cell.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=van der Zee |first1=Jacoba |last2=González |first2=Dionisio |last3=van Rhoon |first3=Gerard C |last4=van Dijk |first4=Jan DP |last5=van Putten |first5=Wim LJ |last6=Hart |first6=Augustinus AM |date=2000-04-01 |title=Comparison of radiotherapy alone with radiotherapy plus hyperthermia in locally advanced pelvic tumours: a prospective, randomised, multicentre trial |url=https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(00)02059-6 |journal=The Lancet |volume=355 |issue=9210 |pages=1119–1125 |doi=10.1016/s0140-6736(00)02059-6 |pmid=10791373 |s2cid=25518938 |issn=0140-6736}}</ref><ref name="Jha 161–167"/> Hyperthermia has also been researched to investigate whether it causes cancerous tumours to be more prone to radiation as a form of treatment; which as a result has allowed hyperthermia to be used to complement other forms of cancer therapy.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Alexander |first=H.
