| Summary: | Laser hyperthermia treatment of cancer tissue is widely used in cancer treatment to destroy cancer
cells. This study focus on the mechanisms of heat transfer in biological tissues to minimize damage
to the tissues resulting from extra heat applied. The important feature of this method is heating of
specific region to raise its temperature to a threshold temperature and destroying cancer cells without
to destroy surrounding tissue. In this study, we have used the combinations of laser light and gold
nanoparticles to investigate the influence of nanoparticles on the spatial distribution of temperature
in the tumor and healthy tissues. Accurate simulations and solving Penne’s bio-heat transfer equation
were used to solve and model the thermal tumor breast cancer in the presence of gold. Nanoparticles of
some particular sizes and concentrations were selected. We would like here to stress that our attempt
was a theoretical and computer model with some real and hypothesized parameters and homogeneous
target. The results of this study help the doctors in the study for results of hyperthermia treatment
before using it on the vivo by known the properties of the laser used and the properties of the breast
tumor trying to reduce the damage of the treatment. |
