This regional chemotherapy, also known as magnetic drug targeting, makes it possible to achieve a high concentration of active substances in the tumor in the case of superficial cancer while at the same time minimizing the burden on the organism.
The first part of the medical 3D animation shows the active substance with magnetic nanoparticles.

The administration of conventional chemotherapy is now shown in a patient with a superficial liver carcinoma. In this case, the active substances are distributed in the body in an untargeted manner. In order to ensure a sufficiently high concentration of the active substance in the tumor, a high dose must be selected.
The second part deals with magnetic drug targeting (local chemotherapy), i.e. the concentration of the active substances in the area of the tumor. For this purpose, a magnet is used to concentrate the active substances with metallic nanoparticles in the liver tumor. This procedure enables a high local concentration of the active substance in the diseased tissue, while the rest of the body is only exposed to a smaller dose.
