Morbidity and quality of life during thermotherapy using magnetic nanoparticles in locally recurrent prostate cancer: Results of a prospective phase I trial

Abstract

Interstitial heating using magnetic nanoparticles was feasible and well tolerated in patients with locally recurrent prostate cancer. Deposition of nanoparticles in the prostate was highly durable. Further refinement of the technique is necessary to allow application of higher magnetic field strengths.
