he magnetic nanoparticles can act as local nano-heaters for
hyperthermia cancer treatment under a contactless action
of a radiofrequency field. Though the concepts of magnetic
fluid hyperthermia (MFH) were originally proposed over 50
years ago, the technique has yet still several challenges to
overcome before it can be successfully translated into a routine
clinical application. Among the challenges to be addressed
is the determination of the optimal fields and frequencies
that maximize the treatment and diminish the side effects.
This optimal radiofrequency field strongly depends on the
physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles such as
composition, size, shape, magnetic properties, aggregation
degree, coating, media viscosity, among others. In this talk it
will be discussed on the current state of the art of MFH, the
advances in the design of the nanoparticles, themost promising
materials so far, and some of the most important results made
in-vitro cell experiments.
