Numerical study of magnetic hyperthermia ablation of breast tumor on an anatomically realistic breast phantom

Abstract: Magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) is a novel reliable technique with excellent potential for thermal therapies and treating breast tumours. This method involves injecting a magnetic nanofluid into the tumour and applying an external AC magnetic field to induce heat in the magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and raise the tumour temperature to ablation temperature ranges. Because of the complexity of considering and coupling all different physics involves in this phenomenon and also due to the intricacy of a thorough… Show more

“…In future work, we plan to evaluate the proposed method for more realistic tumors and tissue shapes [ 43 , 44 ], or even those obtained from patient-specific images [ 45 ]. The simplifications adopted in this model may not be the best choices to represent some phenomena.…”

“…Compounds possessing various unique properties other than thermoconversion are being developed [ 62 , 63 ]. In magnetic hyperthermia, magnetic nanoparticles are injected into the tumor, and alternating the magnetic field induces heat by interacting with the nanoparticles [ 64 , 65 ]. The temperature reaches 43 °C or higher, leading to the apoptosis of cancer cells.…”

“…[ 30 ] To better mimic in vivo tests and include the effects of thermal diffusion and heat exchange with the external environment, computational phantoms with realistic anatomical details are also employed, extending their volume to the tissues surrounding the diseased organ or to the entire body. [ 31–33 ] In some studies, the irregularities in the tumor shape are also included in the voxel discretization, via 3D reconstruction from in vivo measurements. [ 22,34 ]…”

“…In silico replication of in vivo tests mainly focuses on the role of the MNP concentration and deposition pattern, and of the tumor size, shape, position, and thermal properties, giving less attention to the role of the type of employed MNPs and their ability to release heat as a function of magnetic field peak amplitude and frequency. [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] Moreover, to reduce computational complexity, most numerical models introduce simplifications on the body anatomy, which is often approximated as a domain composed of elementary regions, typically spherical, ellipsoidal, or cubic, where the inner one represents the tumor. [24][25][26][27][28][29] Further complexity is added, by considering a more realistic shape of the diseased organ, but describing the tumor as an internal sphere and avoiding the presence of surrounding healthy organs and tissues.…”
