Abstract:
Cancer is one of the three major killers that threatened human health in the twenty-first century,making the early diagnose and high-efficiency therapy crucial.The recent-developed nanotechnology brings new hope for this.Among different nanomaterials,magnetic nanoparticles show positive effects in diagnosis and therapies since they can be located with certain magnetic fields and can vibrate and heat up in the alternating magnetic field.With the ever increasing attention paid to the study,magnetic nanoparticles will play a key role in cancer diagnosis and therapy.This review gives a comprehensive discussion on development of the research and applications of magnetic nanoparticles,including single metallic,double metallic and alloyed magnetic nanoparticles.Moreover,it also prospects the future developing orientations of magnetic nanotechnology.Magnetic nanoparticles are widely used these days,with a speedy research development both in theory and application.However,the investigations into the toxicity of magnetic nanoparticles and the medical and commercial standards have to continue before magnetic nanoparticles are determined as valid and with low toxicity.
