Abstract
⺠Size and surface modified SPIONs enable a safe and reproducible application to the tumor. ⺠SPIONs can be magnetically targeted and concentrated in the tumor tissue. ⺠Optimized SPIONs show a heating efficiency sufficient for a hyperthermia tumor therapy. ⺠Cancer specific binding agents on the SPIONs surface makes this therapy very selective. ⺠First clinical trials with SPION hyperthermia were carried out and showed promising results.
