Agglomeration of magnetic nanoparticles and its effects on magnetic hyperthermia
Magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) is a promising approach for organ-confined tumor treatment. In MFH, magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) are magnetically targeted at the tumor site and heated in an alternating magnetic field. The heat produced by the MNP is used to cause tumor cell death. At the tumor sit...
