Modelling of heat transfer occurring in a hyperthermia cancer treatment method.

Author(s) : ZATSEPINA E. V., TISHIN A. M., EGOLF P. W.

Summary

Successful hyperthermia cancer treatment is impossible without controlling the heat transfer processes that occur in living tissues. In this work the authors provide a model for the heat transfer and heat exchange during magnetic hyperthermia methods. Four main issues concerning heat transfer have been considered: (1) heat diffusion; (2) heat convection by the circulatory system; (3) heat transfer between nanoparticles and their covering material; (4) the heat transfer between covered particles and the fluid, which is directly injected into the tumour. For the approach of such processes a thermodynamic model was developed. Numerical simulations according to this model were produced and the corresponding results are presented.
