LOCALIZED HYPERTHERMIA/THERMAL ABLATION FOR CANCER TREATMENT

摘要

The present disclosure provides devices, systems and methods for hyperthermia cancer treatment by supplying ferromagnetic nanoparticles to a target area having or suspected of having cancer cells, the ferromagnetic nanoparticles are configured to attach to the cancer cells and heat by absorbing magnetic energy, and radiating the target area with microwaves such that the target area is within a nearfield range of the radiated microwave, and the microwave radiation nearfield is magnetically biased such that the ratio of magnetic energy to electric energy is greater than 1.
