Synthesis and evaluation of colloidal magnetic iron oxides for the site-specific radiofrequency-induced hyperthermia of cancer

A panel of water-based colloidal magnetic iron oxides was synthesized, and specific power absorption rates of the synthesized ferrofluids were studied in the magnetic fields of various strength and frequency. The ferrofluids displayed superior heating parameters and may provide a new, improved metho...

Description
Summary:A panel of water-based colloidal magnetic iron oxides was synthesized, and specific power absorption rates of the synthesized ferrofluids were studied in the magnetic fields of various strength and frequency. The ferrofluids displayed superior heating parameters and may provide a new, improved method for the hyperthermic treatment of cancer.
