Magnetic Gel Composites for Hyperthermia Cancer Therapy

Magnetic Gel Composites for Hyperthermia Cancer Therapy

Hyperthermia therapy is a medical treatment based on the exposition of body tissue to slightly higher temperatures than physiological (i.e., between 41 and 46 °C) to damage and kill cancer cells or to make them more susceptible to the effects of radiation and anti-cancer drugs. Among several methods suitable for heating tumor areas, magnetic hyperthermia involves the introduction of magnetic mi...

Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia for Cancer Therapy

The aim of the paper is to show basic ideas of magnetic fluid hyperthermia treatment with regard to power losses which occur during heating with alternating magnetic field. A special attention has been paid to dielectric, hysteresis and relaxation mechanism losses and their contribution to total power losses. A numerical analysis has been done with regard to a simplified female breast phantom a...

Hyperthermia Cancer Therapy by Magnetic Nanoparticles

pegylated superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles for magnetic fluid hyperthermia therapy

Magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia for prostate cancer.

Magnetic nanoparticles are increasingly used for clinical applications such as drug delivery, magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic fluid hyperthermia. A novel method of interstitial heating of tumours following direct injection of magnetic nanoparticles has been evaluated in humans in recent clinical trials. In prostate cancer this approach has been investigated in two separate phase I studi...
