Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Abstract The development of new, effective drug delivery systems for the treatment of cancer represents one of the significant challenges facing biomedical technology in the last decade. Among the different methods of drug delivery, magnetic drug targeting could be a promising approach by enabling the specific delivery of chemotherapeutic agents through the use of magnetic nanoparticles and a magnetic field gradient. Recently, magnetic nanoparticles have attracted additional attention because of their potential as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging and heat mediators for cancer therapy. This review summarizes these approaches in the use of magnetic nanoparticles in biomedical applications, and novel methods for their optimization.
