Thermotherapy with Metallic Stent Excited by The Magnetic Field

The authors propose stents that function as thermotherapy for cancer besides its original efficacy. Thermotherapy is the method of treating cancer by the use of heat, and it is generally well known that at the temperature of 42.5 degC or more, the survival rate of tumor tissue decreases rapidly, while normal cells can survive up to 44 degC. If we take advantage of this 1.5 degree temperature difference, the necrosing of the tumor tissue is expected to be much more effective.
