Abstract

Despite the latest advancement in diagnosis and treatments, cancer is among the top three causes of death in modern society. Engineered nanoparticles have the potential to revolutionize the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have acted as the most promising candidate in magnetic hyperthermia treatment of cancer. Use of iron oxide super paramagnetic nanoparticle will lead to increased intracellular concentration of drugs. Unique properties of iron oxide nanoparticles have helped to overcome the limitations of cancer therapy such as lethal dosage of radiation and harmful side effects. In this review, we have highlighted the recent advances in treatment of magnetic hyperthermia using SPIONs.
