Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed a method of magnetically induced hyperthermia for malignant tumor using thermosensitive ferromagnetic particles (FMPs) with low Curie temperature (Tc: a transition point at which magnetic materials lose of its magnetic properties, which causes a cessation of current and thus heat production) enough to mediate automatic temperature control. During this research period, we aimed to improve the accuracy of the wireless temperature measurement system, and result was that in the environment at 37 degree temperature the heat generation effect was confirmed to a depth of 5cm, which is sufficient for practical use. A key advantage of this hyperthermia system is that it is minimally invasive, requiring only a single injection for repeated treatments with automatic temperature control.
