In magnetic hyperthermia, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are used to generate heat in an alternating magnetic field to destroy cancerous cells. This field can be continuous or pulsed. Although a large amount of research has been devoted to studying the efficiency and side effects of continuous fields, little attention has been paid to the use of pulsed fields. In this simulation study, Fourier's law and COMSOL software have been utilized to identify the heating power necessary for treating breast cancer under blood flow and metabolism to obtain the optimized condition among the pulsed powers for thermal ablation. The results showed that for small source diameters (not larger than 4 mm), pulsed powers with high duties were more effective than continuous power. Although by increasing the source domain the fraction of damage caused by continuous power reached the damage caused by the pulsed powers, it affected the healthy tissues more (at least two times greater) than the pulsed powers. Pulsed powers with high duty (0.8 and 0.9) showed the optimized condition and the results have been explained based on the Arrhenius equation. Utilizing the pulsed powers for breast cancer treatment can potentially be an efficient approach for treating breast tumors due to requiring lower heating power and minimizing side effects to the healthy tissues.
在磁热疗中,磁性纳米粒子(MNPs)被用于在交变磁场中产生热量以破坏癌细胞。该场可以是连续的或脉冲的。尽管已经进行了大量研究来研究连续场的效率和副作用,但对脉冲场的应用关注甚少。在这项模拟研究中,利用傅里叶定律和 COMSOL 软件来确定在血流和代谢条件下治疗乳腺癌所需的加热功率,以获得热消融中脉冲功率的优化条件。结果表明,对于小源直径(不大于 4 毫米),高占空比的脉冲功率比连续功率更有效。虽然通过增加源域,连续功率引起的损伤分数达到了脉冲功率引起的损伤分数,但它对健康组织的影响(至少大两倍)比脉冲功率更大。高占空比(0.8 和 0.9)的脉冲功率显示出了优化的条件,并且基于阿累尼乌斯方程解释了结果。由于需要较低的加热功率并将对健康组织的副作用最小化,因此利用脉冲功率治疗乳腺癌可能是一种治疗乳腺癌肿瘤的有效方法。
