Abstract
According to some embodiments, a system may treat blood outside the body of a patient. The system may include one or more pumps configured to pump blood in a fluid flow path at a collective rate over 5 liters per minute. The system may include one or more heat exchangers operable to heat at least a portion of the blood to a temperature of at least 42 degrees Celsius and to allow the blood to cool one or more degrees following heating. The system may include one or more convection dialysis modules configured to perform convection dialysis on at least a portion of the blood at least after the one or more heat exchangers allow the blood to cool one or more degrees.

A method for treating cancer, comprising:
- heating a human body to a core temperature between 42 and 43.2 degrees Celsius, wherein blood from the human body is flowing outside of the human body in a fluid flow path;
- and
- removing carbon dioxide from at least a portion of the blood flowing in the fluid flow path such that the carbon dioxide level in the blood is between 35 and 60 mmHg.
