چکیده

Magnetic nanoparticle-mediated hyperthermia (MNHT) generates heat to a local tumor tissue of above 43°C without damaging surrounding normal tissues. By applying MNHT, a significant amount of heat-shock proteins is expressed within and around the tumor tissues, inducing tumor-specific immune responses. In vivo experiments have indicated that MNHT can induce the regression of not only a local tumor tissue exposed to heat, but also distant metastatic tumors unexposed to heat. In this article, we introduce recent progress in the application of MNHT for antitumor treatments and summarize the mechanisms and processes of its biological effects during antitumor induction by MNHT. Several clinical trials have been conducted indicating that the MNHT system may add a promising and novel approach to antitumor therapy.

Induced tissue cell death by magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia for cancer treatment: an in silico study

In this paper, we simulate magnetic hyperthermia process on a mathematical phantom model representing cancer tumor and its surrounding healthy tissues. The temperature distribution throughout the phantom model is obtained by solving the bio-heat equations and the consequent cell death amount is calculated using correlations between the tissue local temperature and the cell death rate. To have a...
