Poly(styrene-<i>b</i>-acrylic Acid) Nanoparticles with High Magnetic Loading for Magnetic Hyperthermia Cancer Therapy

Hyperthermia Cancer Therapy by Magnetic Nanoparticles

Cancer hyperthermia using magnetic nanoparticles.

Magnetic-nanoparticle-mediated intracellular hyperthermia has the potential to achieve localized tumor heating without any side effects. The technique consists of targeting magnetic nanoparticles to tumor tissue followed by application of an external alternating magnetic field that induces heat through Néel relaxation loss of the magnetic nanoparticles. The temperature in tumor tissue is increa...

pegylated superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles for magnetic fluid hyperthermia therapy

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...

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...
