| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Hyperthermia is a therapy that utilizes thermal sensitivity of cancer cells and is suitable for improving quality of life for patients with advanced inoperable cancer. We have been studying low invasive hyperthermia therapy in which a temperature-sensitive magnetic material (FILCT) with a Curie point of 43 Celsius is injected into the affected part and a high-frequency magnetic field is applied from outside the body to heat only the tumor part. In this study, we developed elemental technology of deep part temperature measurement method that wirelessly detect from outside the body whether or not the affected part has reached a treatable temperature. In this study, it was clarified that FILCT located 10.0 cm from the drive coil (5.0 cm from the pickup coil) can be detected under the arrangement condition with the drive coil and the pickup coil facing each other.
