 and left Hamburg.

His fundamental research in the field of hyperthermia, their applicability in combination with other cancer drugs found great interest in the research community. In particular, he was able to demonstrate that through synergy effects the dose of chemotherapy could be reduced without decreasing their effectiveness.

In June 2008 he published the book "Hyperthermic oncology".

In 2008 he was appointed as the Chief Physician of ProLife Clinic in Innsbruck/Austria and played a key-role in the establishment of the research laboratory. He is also cofounder of the first Austrian hyperthermia center.

Systematic investigation of the applicability of natural substances in oncology was the prime focus of his research. Over the years, he established the world's largest database of natural substances in the field of cancer medicine.

He is the inventor of certain Complimentary Cancer Treatments that are now considered as standard treatments in some of the German clinics.

 techniques has led him to establish a new treatment Intensive Hyperthermia (IHT), which contributes to improving the cancer treatment.

Because of his scientific work Adem Gunes received a professorship in medicine.

He has the largest database on the herbal substances that can be used in cancer medicine. Nearly 100,000 herbs are considered for this scientific research and the results are compiled based on the properties of each herb. The classified listing enables to find out the appropriate herb for each type of cancer.
