Results

According to the results of the review of articles among cancer treatment methods, combined chemotherapy, the use of chemotherapy plus hyperthermia, can be an effective treatment for cancer. the use of nanoparticles in hyperthermia has a significant role in enhancing drug function and eliminating cells. cancer research. studies in various studies show that there is a significant difference between therapeutic approaches with and without hyperthermia, and this method has no side effects on the body.
