Effect of Hyperthermia and Cellular SPION Uptake on Various Head and Neck Cancer Cell Lines

Introduction Cisplatin is one of the standard treatments head and neck tumors leading frequently to severe systemic side effects. This could be improved by targeted drug delivery with nanoparticles in combination local hyperthermia. Unfortunately, outcome studies on hyperthermia HNSCC are diverse. Therefore, we started testing effect nanoparticle uptake HNSCC-cell lines, their toxicity,
