Magnetic Nanoparticle Hyperthermia in Cancer Treatment

Abstract: The activation of magnetic nanoparticles (mNPs) by an alternating magnetic field (AMF) is currently being explored as technique for targeted therapeutic heating of tumors. Various types of superparamagnetic and ferromagnetic particles, with different coatings and targeting agents, allow for tumor site and type specificity. Magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia is also being studied as an adjuvant to conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy. This review provides an introduction to some of the relevant biolo… Show more

“…2 In a clinical setting, hyperthermia is predominantly used in conjunction with other forms of cancer therapy, such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy. [3][4][5][6] Magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) hyperthermia as a cancer therapy operates on the principle that magnetic nanoparticles introduced into a tumor produce heat when subjected to an alternating magnetic field (AMF). There are a number of MNPs with different shapes and magnetic properties for Hyperthermia applications.…”

“…reported that MHT significantly increases cell membrane fluidity and this can be a factor contributing to the increase of CDDP uptake in MHT-treated Caco-2 cells. Furthermore, it has been reported that blood flow increases when MHT is applied and this helps to accumulate anti-cancer drugs within the heated tissue 17) . Although copper transporter receptors might have a crucial role in the uptake of CDDP by cancer cells, the above synergistic effect of MHT and CDDP would be largely related to the increase of cell membrane fluidity 16) and/or the increase of blood flow 17) .…”

“…Mesmo com o avanço da ciência, não se tem a garantia de haver um tratamento completamente eficiente contra a doença (SIEGEL et al, 2012). Devido à grande variedade de tipos de câncer e a especificidade do combate a cada um deles, existem diversas técnicas aplicada no tratamento oncológico, por exemplo, quimioterapia, radiação e cirurgia (GIUSTINI et al, 2010). Todas essas técnicas possuem vantagens e desvantagens associadas aos recursos empregados, porém, destas se destaca a falta de seletividade das drogas aplicadas em tratamentos contra câncer específicos.…”

“…Quando associada à nanotecnologia essa técnica se mostra particularmente eficiente na indução da apoptose ou enfraquecimento de células tumorais. Isso se dá em função de nanopartículas magnéticas, que, devido à alternância do campo magnético, consegue aquecer até a temperatura desejada (GIUSTINI et al, 2010).…”
