Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Magnetic nanomaterials (MNPs) have emerged as a significant advancement in nanotechnology, attracting considerable attention for their effective applications in the biomedical field. This book explores various methods of synthesis and characterization, as well as the diverse applications of MNPs, with a primary focus on cancer theranostics. Their superparamagnetic properties allow for precise control and enhance imaging techniques such as MRI, which facilitates high-resolution tumor detection and monitoring. In therapeutic settings, MNPs are utilized for magnetic hyperthermia, generating localized heat to selectively destroy cancer cells. Additionally, they function as nanocarriers for targeted drug delivery, ensuring the precise release of therapeutic agents at tumor sites while minimizing systemic toxicity. This book offers a comprehensive overview of recent clinical trials involving various MNPs in cancer theranostics, highlighting both ongoing clinical studies and approved applications.Key Features: - Offers a holistic detailed approach in discussing magnetic nanoparticles in context of cancer treatment. - Presents the latest research in this highly important field, with direct implication to cancer immunotherapeutics and precision cancer surgery. - Incorporates critical research on the current and perceived toxicity of magnetic nanoparticles within human systems. - Details actual ongoing clinical trials and those also proposed in the near future, as to the effects of magnetic nanomaterials to cancer treatment.
