“…DBS has an established organizational framework for multidisciplinary communication that enables independent regional groups of experts in the aforementioned disciplines to communicate regularly and stay abreast of recent updates [ 126 , 127 ]. Another example is stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), in which neurosurgeons work in concert with radiation oncologists and medical physicists to plan and provide precise, targeted RT [ 128 , 129 ]. Existing workflows for SRS involve close multidisciplinary collaboration enhanced by the presence of established registries, databases, and conferences that facilitate information sharing [ 130 ].…”

Magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) is a re-emerging treatment modality for brain tumors where magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are locally delivered to the brain and then activated with an external alternating magnetic field (AMF) to generate localized heat at a site of interest. Due to the recent advancements in technology and theory surrounding the intervention, clinical and pre-clinical trials have demonstrated that MHT may enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation therapy (RT) for the treatment of brain tumors. The future clinical success of MHT relies heavily on designing MNPs optimized for both heating and imaging, developing reliable methods for the local delivery of MNPs, and designing AMF systems with integrated magnetic particle imaging (MPI) for use in humans. However, despite the progression of technological development, the clinical progress of MHT has been underwhelming. This review aims to summarize the current state-of-the-art of MHT and offers insight into the current barriers and potential solutions for moving MHT forward.
