RT journal article T1 Fundamentals and advances in magnetic hyperthermia A1 Périgo, Elio Alberto A1 Hemery, Gauvin A1 Sandre, Olivier A1 Ortega Ponce, Daniel A1 Garaio, Eneko A1 Plazaola, Fernando A1 Teran, Francisco Jose A2 Física de la Materia Condensada K1 magnetic hyperthermia K1 cancer therapy K1 magnetic nanoparticles K1 hysteresis losses AB Nowadays, magnetic hyperthermia constitutes a complementary approach to cancer treatment. The use of magnetic particles as heating mediators, proposed in the 1950s, provides a novel strategy for improving tumor treatment and, consequently, patient's quality of life. This review reports a broad overview about several aspects of magnetic hyperthermia addressing new perspectives and the progress on relevant features such as the ad hoc preparation of magnetic nanoparticles, physical modeling of magnetic heating, methods to determine the heat dissipation power of magnetic colloids including the development of experimental apparatus and the influence of biological matrices on the heating efficiency.
