Russian Researchers Develop Nanotechnology to Treat Cancerous Tumors

A team of scientists from Novosibirsk State University in Russia, in collaboration with the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, has developed a new medical treatment based on iron nanoparticles that enables tumors to be treated through targeted heating using a magnetic field.

The researchers explained that this technology works by raising the temperature inside the tumor to between 43 and 44 °C, the point at which proteins begin to break down, leading to the safe destruction of cancer cells without harming the body’s healthy tissues.

According to the same source, this method represents a major breakthrough in tumor treatment, as it is safer and more effective than traditional methods that required heating the entire body. The new technique allows heat to be precisely directed to the tumor site only, eliminating the need for additional protective systems.

Earlier this year, Novosibirsk State University announced plans to launch clinical trials aimed at destroying malignant tumors through heating, as part of its efforts to develop more accurate and less harmful cancer treatments.
