A therapeutic strategy using magnetic nanoparticles.
Tumor-specific Fab’ antibody-conjugated magnetoliposomes accumulate in the tumor tissues via the drug delivery system (DDS). Magnetite nanoparticles can be used for cancer diagnosis by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or for a magnetoimpedance (MI) sensor. Hyperthermia can then be induced by an alternating magnetic field (AMF) exposure. Thus, functionalized magnetite nanoparticles can offer a powerful tool for cancer therapy as well as diagnosis.
