  • It is a non-invasive cancer treatment.
  • The technique: Delivery and localisation of magnetic materials within the targeted tumour site followed by subsequent application of an alternating magnetic field (AMF), thereby generating heat at the tumour site.
  • It can efficiently act against deep-seated inaccessible solid tumours like glioblastoma (aggressive type of cancer that can occur in the brain or spinal cord)
  • It is highly thermo-sensitive towards normal cells with minimal toxicity against healthy counterparts.
  • Scientists are on the lookout for new materials which can make this treatment more efficient.
