The company New Phase created a possible solution: to inject iron-containing nanoparticles that bind with cancer cells and make them identifiable targets for its magnetic-heating technology.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">The encoded particles prevent overheating and keep the induced temperature at no more than 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit).<\/p>\n<p>Dr Scott Lester is the Mayo oncologist leading the trial to see if magnetic heating technology is safe.
