Multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles for magnetic resonance image-guided photothermal therapy for cancer

Abstract: Key advances in multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for magnetic resonance (MR) image-guided photothermal therapy of cancer are reviewed. We briefly outline the design and fabrication of such multifunctional MNPs. Bimodal image-guided photothermal therapies (MR/fluorescence and MR/ultrasound) are also discussed.

“…MNPs also enhance proton relaxation of specific tissues, and thereby can be used contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [32]. Thus, MNPs can serve as a multi-functional platform for cancer therapy, providing simultaneous tumor heating and imaging [1,34]. These unique MNP features further emphasize the potential of our method for enhancing PTT, as targeted MNPs that reach specific tissue can induce cell death independently from that of the non-targeted tissue, via AMF combined with laser.…”

“…Photo-thermal therapy (PTT) is a minimally-invasive therapeutic strategy that destroys cancer cells using photon energy converted into heat [1][2][3][4]. One of the main PTT procedures involves dispersion of magnetic particles (MNPs) throughout the target tissue, and subsequent application of an external alternating magnetic field (AMF) of sufficient strength and frequency to induce heating of the particles.…”

“…Imaging guiding is markedly important in PTT since it can offer comprehensive information such as the exact location and size of tumors, the temperature changes of cancerous/normal tissues, as well as the distribution and enrichment of PTAs in the body and tumor sites. [ 29 ] Therefore, multifunctional MNPs with good imaging ability and NIR light‐responsive performance have become a kind of PTAs with high performance, which can achieve MRI‐, MPI‐, and multimodal imaging‐guided PTT. [ 30‐31 ] Before systemically describing their imaging‐guided strategies, we first introduce the common optical windows used in PTT.…”

“…The last decades have witnessed a continuous growth in the use of single-shot MRI, both for clinical and research applications. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Owing to the good temporal resolution, these single-shot MRI methods are referred to as "ultrafast" imaging protocols. These "ultrafast" protocols play an essential role in experiments and researches demanding high temporal resolution.…”
