PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cancer treatment method and an apparatus therefor, particularly a cancer treatment method in which treatment is performed by irradiating an affected area with electromagnetic wave, and magnetic particles and an apparatus used therefor.SOLUTION: Magnetic particles bound to an antibody against a cancer cell are non-invasively or low-invasively introduced into the body of a patient, and are bound to the cancer cell, the cell is irradiated with electromagnetic wave or a magnetic field is applied to the cell from outside, and the magnetic particles bound to the cancer cell are inductively heated to death. In such an occasion, it is desirable to further include a process of inducing magnetic particles in the vicinity of the cancer cell by magnetism after introducing magnetic particles into the body of a patient, and that magnetic particles are derived from organism.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】ガンの治療方法及びそのための装置、特に患部に電磁波を照射することにより治療を行なうガン治療方法並びにそのために用いる磁性粒子及び装置の提供。【解決手段】ガン細胞に対する抗体と結合した磁性粒子を患者の体内に非侵襲的または低侵襲的に導入し、ガン細胞に結合させ、外部から電磁波を照射するか磁場を印加してガン細胞に結合した磁性粒子を誘導加熱し致死せしめる。その際、磁性粒子を患者の体内に導入した後、磁気により磁性粒子をガン細胞近傍に誘導する工程をさらに含むことと、磁性粒子が生物由来であることが望ましい。【選択図】なし
