Novel Magnetic Fluids for Breast Cancer Therapy

Abstract

The research goal of this project was to develop a novel class of magnetic fluids that exhibit thermo-regulating properties attractive for a number of medical applications. These fluids could potentially surpass the functionality of currently available magnetic fluids used in hyperthermia A A novel class of nano-particles has been discovered that possesses an inherent self-limiting mechanism against overheating and it utilizes a different physical principle than the Curie point based principle. These systems have almost ideal for magnetic fluid hyperthermia self-limiting heating properties.
