Outline of Final Research Achievements

Hyperthermia is a cancer therapy which heats temperature of a cancer tissue at over 42.5 deg. C to kill the cancer cells selectively. It poses a low risk to the body and causes few side effects as compared to surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. This study contributed for development of highly efficient heating of magnetic nanoparticles. The heating mechanism of intercellular magnetic nanoparticles was successfully analyzed.
