Abstract
New engineering approaches for hyperthermia treatments. / G. Gavashelishvili, G. Nabakhtiani, B. Surguladze. / Nano Studies. – 2020. – # 20. – pp. 37-42. – eng. In the field of oncology, hyperthermia (thermotherapy) as one of the methods of treatment is of interest from the engineering point of view as well. For the treatment of a malignant tumor, one of the most important problems is the situation when metastases migrate in the body. Thermal therapeutic (deterministic) effect on metastases is possible by exposure to electromagnetic waves the nanoparticles introduced in them. In our experiments on animals (mouses), the optimal thermal effect for treatment (45 – 55 °C) using Fe3O4 nanoparticles was achieved by exposure to electromagnetic waves with frequency of 20 kHz.
