摘要：
Disclosed is a thermorod capable of actively releasing drugs according to temperature of the thermorod and a method of manufacturing the same. The thermorod generates heat by eddy current loss and hysteresis loss in an induced magnetic field. The thermorods can effectively administer drugs, such as anti-cancer drugs, since the thermorods may be used to perform local hyperthermia at 36.5° C. or above and to actively control the active drug release and delivery according to temperature as well. The thermorods may be useful in the treatment of resting tumor cells along with hyperthermia by performing a surgical operation on lesion sites of biological tissues. Using the thermorod, the drug is effectively delivered to an affected part in response to the active drug release. This can minimize the toxicity caused by an increase in blood drug concentration, which occurs when a drug is administered by a conventional method.
