Incorporating Magnetic Nanoparticle Aggregation Effects into Heat Generation and Temperature Profiles for Magnetic Hyperthermia Cancer Treatments

In treating cancer, a primary consideration is the target specificity of the treatment. This is a measure of the treatment dose that the cancerous (target) tissue receives compared to the dose that healthy tissue receives. Nanoparticle (NP) based treatments offer many advantages for target specifici...
