BIOCOMPATIBLE MAGNETIC MATERIALS FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER BY MEANS OF HYPERTHERMIA, AND PROCESSES FOR THEIR PRODUCTION

摘要

The present invention relates to the production of biocompatible magnetic materials for cancer therapy by means of hyperthermia. These materials are constituted by a biocompatible vitreous matrix in which there is dispersed a magnetic crystalline phase. The magnetic materials of the invention may be obtained with three different methodologies: coprecipitation, melting, and sintering.
