Conventional drug treatment for breast cancer, chemotherapy would destroy the cancer cells because of the medicine targeting rapidly dividing cells. However, healthy cells and tissues in blood, mouth, intestinal tract, nose, nails, vagina and hair also divide rapidly, and get damaged. Hyperthermia therapy refers to body temperature elevated to damage cancer cells. It is usually utilized with different types of tumour treatment, for example, radiation treatment and chemotherapy. In hyperthermia, different kind of energy might be utilised to apply heat, including microwave, laser, ultrasound and magnetic fields. Super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) show a number of interesting properties which can be utilised in various biomedical applications which include MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), repairing of tissues, cell separation, hyperthermia and drug delivery .
