Abstract
Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases, and current treatment regimens suffer from limited efficacy, nonspecific toxicity, and chemoresistance. With the advantages of good biocompatibility, large specific surface area, excellent cation exchange capacity, and easy availability, clay minerals have been receiving ever-increasing interests in cancer treatment. They can act as carriers to reduce the toxic side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs, and some of their own properties can kill cancer cells, etc. Compared with other morphologies clays, layered clay minerals (LCM) have attracted more and more attention due to adjustable interlayer spacing, easier ion exchange, and stronger adsorption capacity. In this review, the structure, classification, physicochemical properties, and functionalization methods of LCM are summarized. The state-of-the-art progress of LCM in antitumor therapy is systematically described, with emphasis on the application of montmorillonite, kaolinite, and vermiculite. Furthermore, the property-function relationships of LCM are comprehensively illustrated to reveal the design principles of clay-based antitumor systems. Finally, foreseeable challenges and outlook in this field are discussed.

Abstract
It is crucial to develop dual or multi-modal self-imaging embolic microspheres to evaluate the effects of transcatheter arterial embolization therapy of tumor. However, the preparation of such hybrid microspheres always involved in multiple steps or complicated conditions. Here, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hybrid microspheres with dual-modal T1/T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been prepared based on microfluidic technique in one step. Gd2O3 and Fe3O4 nanoparticles with a size of ~5 nm act as T1- and T2-weighted MRI contrast agents, respectively, which are simultaneously in-situ synthesized in the PVA matrix via the reaction of metal ions and alkali with PVA chains as a soft template. Meanwhile, these metallic-oxide nanoparticles act as cross-linker to gelatinize the PVA droplets to obtain nano-in-micro PVA microspheres in one step. This procedure is simple, economic and feasible. The obtained nano-in-micro PVA microspheres show good magnetothermal effect, enhanced T1- and T2-weighted MRI and embolization effect.

Abstract
We prepared iron nanoparticle-encapsulating silica (FeSi) microspheres and tested their suitability as thermal seeds for hyperthermia in cancer therapy. These microspheres were prepared by introducing a ferric ion (Fe(3+)) into microspheres of a SiO(2) gel matrix derived from the hydrolysis of tetramethoxysilane in a water-in-oil emulsion that was then heat-treated at 850 °C in an argon atmosphere. The particles obtained were 5-30 μm in size and had a saturation magnetization up to 21 emu g(-1) and a coercive force of 86-133 Oe. Heat generation in an alternating current magnetic field of 300 Oe at 100 kHz was estimated to be 7.7-28.9 W g(-1). The in vitro cell biocompatibility of the microspheres was assessed by culturing rat fibroblast Rat-1 cells in medium supplemented with microspheres containing 6.7 % of iron nanoparticles. At microsphere concentrations of <7.5 g L(-1) proliferation of Rat-1 cells was not significantly inhibited.

Thermoablation of malignant kidney tumors using magnetic nanoparticles: an in vivo feasibility study in a rabbit model. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol 2009; 33:127-34.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the technical feasibility of CT-guided magnetic thermoablation for the treatment of malignant kidney tumors in a VX2 tumor rabbit model. VX2 tumors were implanted into the kidneys of five rabbits and allowed to grow for 2 weeks. After preinterventional CT perfusion imaging, CT-guided injection of superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (300 microl) was performed, followed by exposure of the animals to an alternating electromagnetic field for 15 min (approximately 0.32 kA/m). Then animals underwent CT perfusion imaging again. Afterward, animals were sacrificed and kidneys were dissected for macroscopic and histological evaluation. Changes in perfusion before and after exposure to the alternating magnetic field were analyzed. In one animal no tumor growth could be detected so the animal was used for optimization of the ablation procedure including injection technique and peri-interventional cross-sectional imaging (CT, MRI). After image-guided intratumoral injection of ferrofluids, the depiction of nanoparticle distribution by CT correlated well with macroscopic evaluation of the dissected kidneys. MRI was limited due to severe susceptibility artefacts. Postinterventional CT perfusion imaging revealed a perfusion deficiency around the ferrofluid deposits. Histological workup showed different zones of thermal damage adjacent to the ferrofluid deposits. In conclusion, CT-guided magnetic thermoablation of malignant kidney tumors is technically feasible in an animal model and results in a perfusion deficiency indicating tumor necrosis as depicted by CT perfusion imaging and shown in histological evaluation.

Abstract
Computer models were developed to simulate the capture and subsequent deposition of magnetic microparticles (MMPs) in a blood vessel adjacent to a ferromagnetic wire (e.g., acupuncture needle) magnetized by a uniform external magnetic field. Process parameter conditions were obtained to enable optimal capture of MMPs into the deposit. It was found that the maximum capture distance of the MMPs was within 0.5-2.0 mm when the particles were superparamagnetic and had large size (>1.0 microm) and relative large flow rates (2.5-5.0 cm/s) as in a healthy artery. It was also found that the deposits were asymmetrical and that their size was between 1.0 and 2.0 mm. For the case of lower flow rates as can be found in a tumor (<1.0 mm/s) and using small magnetite particles (0.25-2.0 microm) the maximum capture distance was larger, ranging between approximately 0.5 and 6.4 mm, depending on the blood flow rate, the radius of wire, and particle clustering. The range of embolization (deposition) in this later case was between 0.5 and 5.9 mm. The potential of this technique to generate MMPs deposits to embolize blood vessels inhibiting the blood supply and thus facilitating necrosis of tumors located deep within the patient (3-7 cm) is discussed.

Abstract
Rabbit liver was loaded with ferrimagnetic particles of gamma -Fe2 O3 (designed for magnetic hyperthermia treatment of liver tumors) by injecting various doses of a suspension of the particles into the hepatic artery in vivo. Proton transverse relaxation rate (R(2)) images of the livers in vivo, excised, and dissected were generated from a series of single spin-echo images. Mean R(2) values for samples of ferrimagnetic-particle-loaded liver dissected into approximate 1 cm cubes were found to linearly correlate with tissue iron concentration over the range from approximately 0.1 to at least 2.7 mg Fe/g dry tissue when measured at room temperature. Changing the temperature of ferrimagnetic-particle-loaded samples of liver from 1 degrees C to 37 degrees C had no observable effect on tissue R(2) values. However, a small but significant decrease in R(2) was found for control samples containing no ferrimagnetic material on raising the temperature from 1 degrees C to 37 degrees C. Both chemically measured iron concentrations and mean R(2) values for rabbit livers with implanted tumors tended to be higher than those measured for tumor-free liver. This study indicates that tissue R(2) measurement and imaging by nuclear magnetic resonance may have a useful role in magnetic hyperthermia therapy protocols for the treatment of liver cancer.
