Abstract

hyperthermia using different methods such as microwave and magnetic waves is one of the methods to treat cancer. In this method, iron and magnetic nanoparticles are used to increase the temperature and increase the effect of hyperthermia as auxiliary treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In this study, we review the results of studies that evaluated the role of iron and magnetic nanoparticles effects in increasing the tumor temperature and maintaining healthy tissue and thus increasing the efficiency of hyperthermia  with radiotherapy in chemical injuries. The presence of both groups of iron and magnetic nanoparticles during microwave and magnetism waves irradiation increased tumor death. The results of our study showed that iron nanoparticles are less concentrated in comparison to magnetic ones, causing a rapid rise in temperature, which increases the efficiency of hyperthermia and reduces damage to healthy tissues around the tumor.
