Abstract
Recent studies encourage the application of minimal-invasive techniques for the treatment of breast cancer. Therefore, two different approaches related to the use of magnetic heating (hyperthermia and thermoablation) are proposed. Hereby, the tumour is loaded with a magnetic material (iron oxide) and exposed to an alternating magnetic field in order to generate heating. Different therapeutic conditions will be discussed.
