Title:
BIODEGRADABLE IRON OXIDE NANOPARTICLE GEL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/121224
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A biodegradable iron oxide nanoparticle gel for hyperthermia treatment of cancer includes a polysaccharide-based carrier matrix and starch-coated iron oxide nanoparticles. The gel has sufficient deformability to integrate into a diffuse tumor site, adheres to tissue and has sufficient mechanical properties to remain in place during hyperthermia treatment. The gel releases iron oxide nanoparticles for uptake by cancerous cells at the tumor margin.
