Abstract
Driving immobilized, single-domain magnetic nanoparticles at high frequency by square wave fields instead of sinusoidal waveforms leads to qualitative and quantitative improvements in their performance both as point-like heat sources for magnetic hyperthermia and as sensing elements in frequency-resolved techniques such as magnetic particle imaging and magnetic particle spectroscopy. The time evolution and the frequency spectrum of the cyclic magnetization of magnetite nanoparticles with random easy axes are obtained by means of a rate-equation method able to describe time-dependent effects for the particle sizes and frequencies of interest in most applications to biomedicine. In the presence of a high-frequency square-wave field, the rate equations are shown to admit an analytical solution and the periodic magnetization can be therefore described with accuracy, allowing one to single out effects which take place on different timescales. Magnetic hysteresis effects arising from the specific features of the square-wave driving field results in a breakthrough improvement of both the magnetic power released as heat to an environment in magnetic hyperthermia treatments and the magnitude of the third harmonic of the frequency spectrum of the magnetization, which plays a central role in magnetic particle imaging.

A scalable hyperthermic intravesical chemotherapy (HIVEC) setup for rat models of bladder cancer. Sci Rep 2022; 12:7017.

Abstract
Hyperthermic intravesical chemotherapy (HIVEC)—whereby the bladder is heated to ± 43 °C during a chemotherapy instillation—can improve outcomes of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) treatments. Experiments in animal models are required to explore new hyperthermia based treatments. Existing HIVEC devices are not suitable for rodents or large-scale animal trials. We present a HIVEC setup compatible with orthotopic rat models. An externally heated chemotherapeutic solution is circulated in the bladder through a double-lumen catheter with flow rates controlled using a peristaltic pump. Temperature sensors in the inflow channel, bladder and outflow channel allow temperature monitoring and adjustments in real-time. At a constant flow rate of 2.5 mL/min the system rapidly reaches the desired bladder temperature of 42–43 °C with minimal variability throughout a one-hour treatment in a rat bladder phantom, as well as in euthanised and live rats. Mean intraluminal bladder temperatures were 42.92 °C (SD = 0.15 °C), 42.45 °C (SD = 0.37 °C) and 42.52 °C (SD = 0.09 °C) in the bladder phantom, euthanised, and live rats respectively. Thermal camera measurements showed homogenous heat distributions over the bladder wall. The setup provides well-controlled thermal dose and the upscaling needed for performing large scale HIVEC experiments in rats.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses and glass-ceramics are well-proven potential biomaterials for bone-tissue engineering applications because of their compositional flexibility. Many research groups have been focused to explore the utility of bioactive glass-ceramics beyond bone engineering to hyperthermia treatment of cancer. Hyperthermia refers to raising the temperature of tumor close to 44°C at which malignant cells perish with negligible harm to normal cells. Hyperthermia can be employed by many means such as by ultrasonic waves, electromagnetic waves, infrared radiations, alternating magnetic fields, etc. Magnetic bioactive glass-ceramics are advantageous over other potential candidates for thermoseeds such as nanofluids, superparamagnetic nanoparticles because they can bond not only to the natural bone but also with soft tissues in few cases, which helps regenerating the affected part due to its bioactive nature. Strict restrictions on clinical settings ( H × f < 5 × 10 9 ) force the research activities to be more focused on material characteristics to raise the implant temperature to required ranges. Lots of efforts have been made in past years to tackle these challenges and design best-suited glass-ceramics for hyperthermia treatment. This review aims to provide essential information on the concept of hyperthermia treatment of cancer and recent developments in the field of bioactive glass-ceramics for cancer treatment. The advantages and disadvantages of magnetic glass-ceramics over other potential thermoseed materials are highlighted. In this field, the major challenges are to develop magnetic glasses, which have fast and bulk crystallization with optimized magnetic phases with lower Curie and Neel temperatures.

Abstract
Rate equations are used to study the dynamic magnetic properties of interacting magnetite nanoparticles viewed as double well systems (DWS) subjected to a driving field in the radio-frequency range. Dipole-dipole interaction among particles is modeled by inserting an ad-hoc term in the energy barrier to simulate the dependence of the interaction on both the interparticle distance and degree of dipole collinearity. The effective magnetic power released by an assembly of interacting nanoparticles dispersed in a diamagnetic host is shown to be a complex function of nanoparticle diameter, mean particle interdistance and frequency. Dipolar interaction markedly modifies the way a host material is heated by an assembly of embedded nanoparticles in magnetic hyperthermia treatments. Nanoparticle fraction and strength of the interaction can dramatically influence the amplitude and shape of the heating curves of the host material; the heating ability of interacting nanoparticles is shown to be either improved or reduced by their concentration in the host material. A frequency-dependent cut-off length of dipolar interactions is determined and explained. Particle polydispersity entailing a distribution of particle sizes brings about non-trivial effects on the heating curves depending on the strength of dipolar interaction.

Abstract
The clinical applications of magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) have been largely hindered by the poor magnetic-to-thermal conversion efficiency of MHT agents. Herein, we develop a facile and efficient strategy for engineering encapsulin-produced magnetic iron oxide nanocomposites (eMIONs) via a green biomineralization procedure. We demonstrate that eMIONs have excellent magnetic saturation and remnant magnetization properties, featuring superior magnetic-to-thermal conversion efficiency with an ultrahigh specific absorption rate of 2390 W/g to overcome the critical issues of MHT. We also show that eMIONs act as a nanozyme and have enhanced catalase-like activity in the presence of an alternative magnetic field, leading to tumor angiogenesis inhibition with a corresponding sharp decrease in the expression of HIF-1α. The inherent excellent magnetic-heat capability, coupled with catalysis-triggered tumor suppression, allows eMIONs to provide an MRI-guided magneto-catalytic combination therapy, which may open up a new avenue for bench-to-bed translational research of MHT. The clinical application of magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) is limited by the poor magnetic-to-thermal conversion efficiency of MHT agents. Here, the authors develop encapsulin-produced magnetic iron oxide nanocomposites (eMIONs) with excellent magnetic-heat capability and catalysis-triggered tumor suppression ability to overcome the critical issues of MHT.

Abstract
Purpose: We describe a modified Helmholtz induction coil, or Maxwell coil, that generates alternating magnetic fields (AMF) having field uniformity (≤10%) within a = 3000 cm3 volume of interest for magnetic hyperthermia research.Materials and methods: Two-dimensional finite element analysis (2D-FEA) was used for electromagnetic design of the induction coil set and to develop specifications for the required matching network. The matching network and induction coil set were fabricated using best available practices and connected to a 120 kW industrial induction heating power supply. System performance was evaluated by magnetic field mapping with a magnetic field probe, and tests were performed using gel phantoms.Results: Tests verified that the system generated a target peak AMF amplitude along the coil axis of ∼35 kA/m (peak) at a frequency of 150 ± 10 kHz while maintaining field uniformity to >90% of peak for a volume of ∼3000 cm3.Conclusions: The induction coil apparatus comprising three independent loops, i.e., Maxwell-type improves upon the performance of simple solenoid and Helmholtz coils by providing homogeneous flux density fields within a large volume while minimizing demands on power and stray fields. Experiments with gel phantoms and analytical calculations show that future translational research efforts should be devoted to developing strategies to reduce the impact of nonspecific tissue heating from eddy currents; and, that an inductor producing a homogeneous field has significant clinical potential for deep-tissue magnetic fluid hyperthermia.

Abstract
AIM Hyperthermia (HT) has been shown to improve clinical response to radiation therapy (RT) for cancer. Synergism is dramatically enhanced if HT and RT are combined simultaneously, but appropriate technology to apply treatments together does not exist. This study investigates the feasibility of delivering HT with RT to a 5-10mm annular rim of at-risk tissue around a tumor resection cavity using a temporary thermobrachytherapy (TBT) balloon implant. METHODS A balloon catheter was designed to deliver radiation from High Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy concurrent with HT delivered by filling the balloon with magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) and immersing it in a radiofrequency magnetic field. Temperature distributions in brain around the TBT balloon were simulated with temperature dependent brain blood perfusion using numerical modeling. A magnetic induction system was constructed and used to produce rapid heating (>0.2°C/s) of MNP-filled balloons in brain tissue-equivalent phantoms by absorbing 0.5 W/ml from a 5.7 kA/m field at 133 kHz. RESULTS Simulated treatment plans demonstrate the ability to heat at-risk tissue around a brain tumor resection cavity between 40-48°C for 2-5cm diameter balloons. Experimental thermal dosimetry verifies the expected rapid and spherically symmetric heating of brain phantom around the MNP-filled balloon at a magnetic field strength that has proven safe in previous clinical studies. CONCLUSIONS These preclinical results demonstrate the feasibility of using a TBT balloon to deliver heat simultaneously with HDR brachytherapy to tumor bed around a brain tumor resection cavity, with significantly improved uniformity of heating over previous multi-catheter interstitial approaches. Considered along with results of previous clinical thermobrachytherapy trials, this new capability is expected to improve both survival and quality of life in patients with glioblastoma multiforme.

Abstract
Non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer can be a challenging disease to manage. In recent years, hyperthermia therapy in conjunction with intravesical therapy has been gaining traction as a treatment option for bladder cancer, especially if Bacillus Calmette-Guerin might not be available. Trials of intravesical chemotherapy with heat are few and there has been considerable heterogeneity between studies. However, multiple new trials have accrued and high-quality data are forthcoming. In this review, we discuss the role of combined intravesical hyperthermia and chemotherapy as a novel approach for the treatment of bladder cancer.

Abstract
In recent decades, magnetic hyperthermia using magnetic nanoparticles, a promising but quite challenging method, has proven to be an effective cancer therapy procedure. In hyperthermia, heat, which is generated by magnetic nanoparticles exposed to a radiofrequency magnetic field, is employed to battle cancerous cells. Ideally, devices for magnetic hyperthermia should provide a variety of field amplitudes and frequencies for generating an appropriate and powerful alternating magnetic field. Here, we report the design and evaluation of a versatile system which provides different experimental setup possibilities for magnetic hyperthermia. The proposed system is a derivative of the Mazzilli inverter, which directly follows the resonant frequency of the LC tank circuit independent of its component. The feasibility of the system for hyperthermia studies was examined using iron oxide nanoparticles prepared by the coprecipitation method. Different experimental conditions including nanoparticles in solution and dispersed in gelatin phantoms were evaluated. Four different coils including two solenoids, a pancake, and a Helmholtz-like format were successfully tested. Using these coils, 18 different operation frequencies in the frequency band of 63-530 kHz with field strengths up to 27.2 kA/m were achieved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) was one of the most potent anticancer artemisinin-like compounds that had been proved by many researchers, but its application was limited by its own characteristics. PURPOSE Magnetic DHA nano-liposomes (DHA-MLPs) were developed to improve the targeting antitumor efficiency and bioavailability of DHA, and their physical properties were characterized. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Liposomes were prepared by thin film dispersion and orthogonal experimental design was used to optimize the formula. The magnetic targeting and antitumor effects of DHA-MLPs in the externally applied magnetic field was investigated in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS The mean particle size of DHA-MLPs was 209.10 ± 4.92 nm, the charge potential was -37.13 ± 1.01 mV, the encapsulation efficiency (E.E.%) was 82.12 ± 0.91%, and the saturation magnetization at room temperature was 11.84 emu g-1. Targeting DHA-MLPs as well as free DHA could lead to cell cycle G1 block and apoptosis of HNSCC tumor cells in vitro. The tumor volumes of targeting DHA-MLPs treated mouse group were distinctly decreased than that in the control group, free DHA group and non-targeting DHA-MLPs group (P < 0.05). It was observed from iron staining intensity that DHA-MLPs had significant targeting effect in magnetic field (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION This novelty liposome could strengthen the ability of DHA in tumor suppression, by increasing the targeted delivery of DHA and biocompatibility, optimize the bioefficacy of DHA.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) are promising agents for hyperthermia therapy, insufficient drug encapsulation efficacies inhibit their application as nanocarriers in the targeted drug delivery systems. In this study, porous magnetite nanoparticles (PMNPs) were synthesized and coated with a thermosensitive polymeric shell to obtain a synergistic effect of hyperthermia and chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS PMNPs were produced using cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide template and then coated by a polyethylene glycol layer with molecular weight of 1500 Da (PEG1500) and phase transition temperature of 48 ± 2 °C to endow a thermosensitive behavior. The profile of drug release from the nanostructure was studied at various hyperthermia conditions generated by waterbath, magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS), and alternating magnetic field (AMF). The in vitro cytotoxicity and hyperthermia efficacy of the doxorubicin-loaded nanoparticles (DOX-PEG1500-PMNPs) were assessed using human lung adenocarcinoma (A549) cells. RESULTS Heat treatment of DOX-PEG1500-PMNPs containing 235 ± 26 mg·g-1 DOX at 48 °C by waterbath, MRgFUS, and AMF, respectively led to 71 ± 4%, 48 ± 3%, and 74 ± 5% drug release. Hyperthermia treatment of the A549 cells using DOX-PEG1500-PMNPs led to 77% decrease in the cell viability due to the synergistic effects of magnetic hyperthermia and chemotherapy. CONCLUSION The large pores generated in the PMNPs structure could provide a sufficient space for encapsulation of the chemotherapeutics as well as fast drug encapsulation and release kinetics, which together with thermosensitive characteristics of the PEG1500 shell, make DOX-PEG1500-PMNPs promising adjuvants to the magnetic hyperthermia modality.

Nanoparticle architecture preserves magnetic properties during coating to enable robust multi-modal functionality. Sci Rep 2018; 8:12706.

Abstract
Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONs) have established a niche as a nanomedicine platform for diagnosis and therapy, but they present a challenging surface for ligand functionalization which limits their applications. On the other hand, coating MIONs with another material such as gold to enhance these attachments introduces other complications. Incomplete coating may expose portions of the iron oxide core, or the coating process may alter their magnetic properties. We describe synthesis and characterization of iron oxide/silica/gold core-shell nanoparticles to elucidate the effects of a silica-gold coating process and its impact on the resulting performance. In particular, small angle neutron scattering reveals silica intercalates between iron oxide crystallites that form the dense core, likely preserving the magnetic properties while enabling formation of a continuous gold shell. The synthesized silica-gold-coated MIONs demonstrate magnetic heating properties consistent with the original iron oxide core, with added x-ray contrast for imaging and laser heating.

Abstract
Hyperthermia, the mild elevation of temperature to 40–43°C, can induce cancer cell death and enhance the effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, achievement of its full potential as a clinically relevant treatment modality has been restricted by its inability to effectively and preferentially heat malignant cells. The limited spatial resolution may be circumvented by the intravenous administration of cancer-targeting magnetic nanoparticles that accumulate in the tumor, followed by the application of an alternating magnetic field to raise the temperature of the nanoparticles located in the tumor tissue. This targeted approach enables preferential heating of malignant cancer cells whilst sparing the surrounding normal tissue, potentially improving the effectiveness and safety of hyperthermia. Despite promising results in preclinical studies, there are numerous challenges that must be addressed before this technique can progress to the clinic. This review discusses these challenges and highlights the current understanding of targeted magnetic hyperthermia.

Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a new drug delivery system (DDS) called magneto low-density nanoemulsion (MLDE), which can carry maghemite nanoparticles and Chlorin e6 as an active photosensitizer drug. This design can enhance tumor damage after minor heat dissipation and/or minimum visible light photosensitization doses by classical magnetic hyperthermia (MHT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), respectively. We establish protocols to prepare the MLDE and to load the drug combination onto it. The MLDE prepared herein is nanometric (<200 nm), has high encapsulation efficiency, and is stable for at least 12 months in water dispersions. Flow cytometry results demonstrated that MLDE presents targeted selectivity toward the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line but not in NHI-3T3 mouse fibroblast cell lines, because the MCF-7 cancer cell surface contains overexpressed low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors. Despite this targeted effect, MHT or PDT alone does not prompt significant antiproliferative outcomes. On the other hand, MHT and PDT in combination induce a strong and synergic action on MCF-7 cells and reduce the cell viability. In conclusion, the developed MLDE deserves further investigation because it is biocompatible, displays good encapsulation efficiency, and is highly stable. Moreover, it is selectively taken up by cancer cell surfaces with receptor recognition based on LDL receptor overexpression, which potentiates the action of combined MHT and PDT.

Abstract
The blood-urine barrier is the tightest and most impermeable barrier in the body and as such represents a problem for intravesical drug delivery applications. Differentiation-dependent low endocytotic rate of urothelial cells has already been noted; however, the differences in endocytosis of normal and cancer urothelial cells have not been exploited yet. Here we analysed the endocytosis of rhodamine B isothiocyanate-labelled polyacrylic acid-coated cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (NPs) in biomimetic urothelial in vitro models, i.e., in highly and partially differentiated normal urothelial cells, and in cancer cells of the papillary and invasive urothelial neoplasm. We demonstrated that NPs enter papillary and invasive urothelial neoplasm cells by ruffling of the plasma membrane and engulfment of NP aggregates by macropinocytotic mechanism. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and spectrophotometric analyses showed that the efficacy of NPs delivery into normal urothelial cells and intercellular space is largely restricted, while it is significantly higher in cancer urothelial cells. Moreover, we showed that the quantification of fluorescent NP internalization in cells or tissues based on fluorescence detection could be misleading and overestimated without TEM analysis. Our findings contribute to the understanding of endocytosis-mediated cellular uptake of NPs in cancer urothelial cells and reveal a highly selective mechanism to distinguish cancer and normal urothelial cells.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint therapy has become the first widely adopted immunotherapy for patients with late stage malignant melanoma, with potential for a wide range of cancers. While some patients can experience long term disease remission, this is limited only to a subset of patients and tumor types. The path forward to expand this therapy to more patients and tumor types is currently thought to be combinatorial treatments, the combination of immunotherapy with other treatments. In this review, the combinatorial approach of immune checkpoint therapy combined with nanoparticle-assisted localized hyperthermia is discussed, starting with an overview of the different nanoparticle hyperthermia approaches in development, an overview of the state of immune checkpoint therapy, recent reports of immune checkpoint therapy and nanoparticle-assisted hyperthermia in a combinatorial approach, and finally a discussion of future research topics and areas to be explored in this new combinatorial approach to cancer treatment.

Abstract
Nanomedicine is an emerging field, which constitutes a new direction in the treatment of cancer. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) can circumvent vascular tissue to concentrate at the site of the tumor. Under the influence of an external, alternating magnetic field, MNPs generate high temperatures within the tumor and ablate malignant cells while inflicting minimal damage to healthy host tissue. Due to their theranostic properties, they constitute a promising candidate for the treatment of cancer. A critical review of the type, size and therapeutic effect of different MNPs is presented, following an appraisal of the literature in the last 5 years. This is a multibillion dollar industry, with a few studies moving to clinical trials within the next 5 years.

Abstract
Despite being the fifth most common cancer in the United States, minimal progress has been made in the treatment of bladder cancer in over a decade. Intravesical instillation of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) has been in use for over 30 years and remains the standard treatment in cases of intermediate and high risk disease. Despite the relative success of intravesical BCG, unmet needs in the treatment of NMIBC persist. These challenges include disease recurrence and progression even with treatment with BCG, as well as issues regarding its availability and patient tolerability. The inherent properties of the bladder pose the biggest obstacle to developing effective intravesical treatments for NMIBC. Current research is now focusing on methods to improve the delivery of intravesical therapies. The objective of this review is to discuss novel intravesical drug delivery systems and how they are addressing these challenges in the treatment of NMIBC.

Abstract
AIM In the present study, we examine the effects of internalized peptide-conjugated iron oxide nanoparticles and their ability to locally convert alternating magnetic field (AMF) energy into other forms of energy (e.g., heat and rotational work). MATERIALS & METHODS Dextran-coated iron oxide nanoparticles were functionalized with a cell penetrating peptide and after internalization by A549 and H358 cells were activated by an AMF. RESULTS TAT-functionalized nanoparticles and AMF exposure increased reactive oxygen species generation compared with the nanoparticle system alone. The TAT-functionalized nanoparticles induced lysosomal membrane permeability and mitochondrial membrane depolarization, but these effects were not further enhanced by AMF treatment. Although not statistically significant, there are trends suggesting an increase in apoptosis via the Caspase 3/7 pathways when cells are exposed to TAT-functionalized nanoparticles combined with AMF. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that internalized TAT-functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles activated by an AMF elicit cellular responses without a measurable temperature rise.

Abstract
CONTEXT Bladder cancer therapy remains suboptimal as morbidity and mortality remain high amongst those with non-muscle-invasive and muscle-invasive disease. Regional hyperthermia therapy (RHT) is a promising adjunctive therapy being tested in multiple clinical contexts. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature on the efficacy and toxicity of RHT. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION This systematic review was registered with the PROSPERO database (Registration number: CRD42015025780) and was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. We queried PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane libraries. Two reviewers reviewed abstracts independently and a third reviewer arbitrated disagreements. The last search was performed on 28 August 2015. A descriptive analysis was performed and quality assessment was conducted using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale for observational studies, and the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool for trials. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS We identified 859 publications in the initial search, of which 24 met inclusion criteria for full-text review. Of these, we were able to obtain data on the outcomes of interest for 15 publications. CONCLUSIONS The review underscores the limited nature of the evidence; definitive conclusions are elusive. However, the promising results of RHT in the setting of intravesical chemotherapy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy show a trend towards legitimate efficacy.

Abstract
Moderate temperature hyperthermia (40-45°C for 1 h) is emerging as an effective treatment to enhance best available chemotherapy strategies for bladder cancer. A rapidly increasing number of clinical trials have investigated the feasibility and efficacy of treating bladder cancer with combined intravesical chemotherapy and moderate temperature hyperthermia. To date, most studies have concerned treatment of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) limited to the interior wall of the bladder. Following the promising results of initial clinical trials, investigators are now considering protocols for treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). This paper provides a brief overview of the devices and techniques used for heating bladder cancer. Systems are described for thermal conduction heating of the bladder wall via circulation of hot fluid, intravesical microwave antenna heating, capacitively coupled radio-frequency current heating, and radiofrequency phased array deep regional heating of the pelvis. Relative heating characteristics of the available technologies are compared based on published feasibility studies, and the systems correlated with clinical requirements for effective treatment of MIBC and NMIBC.

Abstract
Although many treatment modalities and schedules for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) exist, all yet prove to have limitations. Therefore the search for new forms of therapy continues. One of these forms consists of combining intravesical chemotherapy, typically mitomycin C (MMC), with hyperthermia achieved by a microwave-applicator. We aimed to review the current status of intravesical radiofrequency (RF) induced chemohyperthermia (CHT) for NMIBC with regard to efficacy, adverse-events (AEs) and its future perspective. A search for RF-induced CHT in MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane and ClinicalTrials.gov databases was performed. Relevant conference abstracts were searched for manually. If applicable, experts on the area were consulted. Papers were selected based on abstract and title. A table of newly published clinical trials since 2011 was constructed. No meta-analysis could be performed based on these new papers. Efficacy proved to be better for RF-induced CHT compared to both MMC alone and bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) instillations, with the latter being based on just one abstract of a randomised controlled trial. The AE rate in CHT is higher compared to MMC instillation, but is similar compared to BCG, albeit different in the type of AE. In almost all studies no severe AEs are reported. Although heterogeneity in methodology exists, RF-induced CHT seems promising. However, alternative methods of applying hyperthermia are starting to present their first results, imposing as effective options too. Intravesical RF-induced CHT may become an alternative for BCG instillation, and possibly for cystectomy, although further level 1 evidence is required for both reliable and reproducible data on efficacy and adverse events.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the thermoresistance and expression of heat-shock protein 90 (HSP90) in magnetic hyperthermia-treated human liver cancer stem-like cells (LCSCs) and the effects of a heat-shock protein HSP90 inhibitor 17-allylamino-17-demethoxgeldanamycin (17-AAG) on hepatocellular carcinoma-burdened nude mice. METHODS CD90(+) LCSCs were isolated by magnetic-activated cell sorting from BEL-7404. Spheroid formation, proliferation, differentiation, drug resistance, and tumor formation assays were performed to identify stem cell characteristics. CD90-targeted thermosensitive magnetoliposomes (TMs)-encapsulated 17-AAG (CD90@17-AAG/TMs) was prepared by reverse-phase evaporation and its characteristics were studied. Heat tolerance in CD90(+) LCSCs and the effect of CD90@17-AAG/TMs-mediated heat sensitivity were examined in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS CD90(+) LCSCs showed significant stem cell-like properties. The 17-AAG/TMs were successfully prepared and were spherical in shape with an average size of 128.9±7.7 nm. When exposed to magnetic hyperthermia, HSP90 was up-regulated in CD90(+) LCSCs. CD90@17-AAG/TMs inhibited the activity of HSP90 and increased the sensitivity of CD90(+) LCSCs to magnetic hyperthermia. CONCLUSION The inhibition of HSP90 could sensitize CD90(+) LCSCs to magnetic hyperthermia and enhance its anti-tumor effects in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this paper is to report thermal dosimetry characteristics of external deep regional pelvic hyperthermia combined with intravesical mitomycin C (MMC) for treating bladder cancer following transurethral resection of bladder tumour, and to use thermal data to evaluate reliability of delivering the prescribed hyperthermia dose to bladder tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 14 patients were treated with MMC and deep regional hyperthermia (BSD-2000, Sigma Ellipse or Sigma 60). The hyperthermia objective was 42° ± 2 °C to bladder tissue for ≥40 min per treatment. Temperatures were monitored with thermistor probes and recorded values were used to calculate thermal dose and evaluate treatment. Anatomical characteristics were examined for possible correlations with heating. RESULTS Combined with BSD-2000 standard treatment planning and patient feedback, real-time temperature monitoring allowed thermal steering of heat sufficient to attain the prescribed thermal dose to bladder tissue within patient tolerance in 91.6% of treatments. Mean treatment time for bladder tissue >40 °C was 61.9 ± 11.4 min and mean thermal dose was 21.3 ± 16.5 CEM43. Average thermal doses obtained in normal tissues were 1.6 ± 1.2 CEM43 for the rectum and 0.8 ± 1.3 CEM43 in superficial normal tissues. No significant correlation was seen between patient anatomical characteristics and thermal dose achieved in bladder tissue. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that a hyperthermia prescription of 42° ± 2 °C for 40-60 min can be delivered safely to bladder tissue with external radiofrequency phased array applicators for a typical range of patient sizes. Using the available thermometry and treatment planning, the BSD-2000 hyperthermia system was shown to be an effective method of focusing heat regionally around the bladder with good patient tolerance.
