Poly(ethylene glycol)-based magnetic hydrogel nanocomposites for hyperthermia cancer therapy

Hyperthermia, the heating of cancerous tissues to between 41 and 45 °C, has been shown to improve the efficacy of cancer therapy when used in conjunction with irradiation and/or chemotherapy. Here a novel method for remotely administering heat is presented, which involves the heating of tumor tissue...
