Bicher cancer institute

Bicher Cancer Institute (formerly Valley Cancer Institute) is one of the USA's largest Hyperthermic research and clinic treatment centers located in Los Angeles, California. Since its foundation in 1984 by Dr. Haim Bicher, BCI has been committed to the research, development, and clinical use of Hyperthermia, a natural, less toxic cancerocidal modality, to improve cancer treatment results while decreasing side effects of conventional therapies.

The treatment approach used at BCI has a curative intent, as opposed to palliative treatment used in conventional therapies like radiation alone, high toxic chemotherapy, and the "point of no return" surgery whose purpose is only to Prolong patients' lives. Hyperthermia in conjunction with low dose Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) offered at BCI, is purposely intended to cure when tumors are localized.

Capable of treating up to 30 patients per day, BCI offers one of the most advanced hyperthermic technology with five Hyperthermia treatment rooms, and full radiation and medical oncology departments. Using a holistic approach, the combination of the natural heat treatment with the other established anti-cancer modalities, allows for good treatment results in most tumors, while markedly decreasing the level of toxicity. BCI's medical expertise is based on 25 years of clinical experience and research in the development of alternative cancer treatments. Most of the Institute's oncology staff, including doctors, nurses, hyperthermia and radiology technicians, and engineers, have been with BCI from the first years of its establishment and possesses decades of expertise in the field of cancer treatment with curative intent.
