For cancer specifically, I’ve also heard about artificially inducing tropical fever conditions in the body. This can be safely done through three sauna treatments a week, as hot as you can stand, for roughly half an hour. Cancer cells can’t self-regulate temperature, so they have to send out signals to the rest of the body asking for the chemicals they need to do so. When those signals go out, the body is alerted to the cells for the first time and can attack them.
It’s a choice between getting detected (and killed) and staying under the radar (and roasting themselves). Seems effective in trials.
This is only for certain types of cancer cells. Sometimes a tumor can be killed with localized heat that won't ( or do negligeable ) damage the rest of the body. As you mention, whole-body temperature elevation can sometimes work too.
A competent doctor will check for this and pick the least damaging treatment that will work.
