Title:
BIOCOMPATIBLE MAGNETIC MATERIALS FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER BY MEANS OF HYPERTHERMIA, AND PROCESSES FOR THEIR PRODUCTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004045652
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the production of biocompatible magnetic materials for cancer therapy by means of hyperthermia. These materials are constituted by a biocompatible vitreous matrix in which there is dispersed a magnetic crystalline phase. The magnetic materials of the invention may be obtained with three different methodologies: coprecipitation, melting, and sintering.
