Abstract

A minimally invasive, highly efficient and versatile strategy is proposed for localized tumor regression by developing a smart injectable liquid-solid phase-transformation organic-inorganic hybrid composite material, i.e., magnetic-Fe-powder-dispersed PLGA (Fe/PLGA) implants for magnetic hyperthermia therapy of cancer.
