Magnetic Nanoparticle Breakthrough Fights Ovarian Tumors

Summary: Researchers at Oregon State University have developed uniquely shaped magnetic nanoparticles that enhance cancer treatment through magnetic hyperthermia, heating tumors above 50°C. Composed of iron oxide doped with cobalt, these nanoparticles offer potential for treating hard-to-reach cancers systemically.

    I saw an article on… 60 Minutes? Years ago. Some random guy who got cancer began educating himself and testing ways to treat cancer by getting metallic particles into a tumor and then hearing them up to kill the cancer. Seems like he demonstrated on a hot dog for the cameras. Anyway, he was hopeful and his experiments were promising, but he was not a cancer research facility getting millions in funding, and the cancer eventually got him.

    Edit: found a follow-up article from 60 Minutes
