Role of ferrite nanoparticles in hyperthermia applications

•To analyse the functionality and efficiency of Nanoferrites for cancer treatments.•To encounter lacking constraints of Nanoferrites in magnetic hyperthermia therapy.•To suggest better way to resolve lacking parameters by ferrite-based nanocomposite. Nanoferrites are comprehensively employed as leading thermoseeds in biomedical applications remarkably in magnetic hyperthermia treatments owing to their biocompatibility and everlasting magnetic deportment. The efficiency of nanoferrites is observed by employing preparation methods, biocompatible overlay, and dopant materials. Nanoferrites have been widely applied in magnetic hyperthermia that terminates tumor cells which are recognized for their phenomenal heating system. Besides, the use of nanoferrites in cancer treatments such as magnetic hyperthermia, imposes certain specific requirements, such as biocompatibility, low toxicity, a higher specific absorption rate, a shorter time to reach a specific hyperthermia temperature, crystalline size within the biological radius, and a lower nanoferrite dose. One possible solution is, to spot the constraints and to suggestimproved nanocomposite materials that enhance their magnetic properties by using a biocompatible overlay and to optimize theefficiency and functionality of magnetic nanoferrites. As an outcome, research into these nanoferrite materials is assessedto determine their functionality and efficiency in cancer treatments. Hence, this article is mainly focused on the preliminary analysis of the magnetic materials used in hyperthermia treatments with the impact of dopants. Thus, this investigation will figure out the limitations of ferrite nanoparticles in hyperthermia treatment and suggests improved ferrite-based nanocomposites to improve its efficiency within the biological moieties, which could be a promising future aspirant in treating cancer.
