Computational modeling of drug diffusion and inductive heating in an implantable biomedical device for localized thermo-chemotherapy of cancer cells/tissue

This paper presents the study of an implantable biomedical device for the localized released of chemotherapeutic drugs and the controlled heating of surrounding tumor tissue to enable cancer treatment via a hyperthermia and chemotherapy combination. The coupling of magnetic induction, heat transfer,...
