A new prostate cancer treatment that kills tumours by heating

Researchers at University of Leicester’s Department of Chemistry have developed a method of finding and treating tumours at the same time using microscopic particles.

Prostate glands will be blasted with millions of charged magnetic nanoparticles which illuminate tumours and then heat them until they are dead.

The treatment will be developed within the university and patients could be used in clinical trials as early as next year.
