Formulation and Characterization of Iron Oxide Based Core Shell Nanostructures and its Incorporation in Hydrogel Tissue Mimicking Phantom for Cancer Therapy Applications

Abstract

Worldwide, cancer is a major issue causing millions of deaths annually. The currently available treatments like radiation and chemotherapy offer more side effects to patients. Among various techniques, magnetic hyperthermia treatment has fewer side effects with increasing the efficiency of destructing cancer cells via localized tumor heating induced by magnetic nanoparticles under an alternating magnetic field. Magnetite nanoparticles with good cytocompatibility and high magnetization were used in magnetic hyperthermia to treat malignant tumors newline
