  • Patent number: 5236410
    Abstract: A method of treatment of a tumor comprising the steps of catheterization of the arterial vessel that feeds the tumor, and transcatheter administration of a suspension of magnetically hard ferromagnetic material in an oil solution of an oil-soluble antitumor substance with simultaneous application of local magnetic field onto the area of the tumor. After 1-3 days the tumor is subjected to ultrahigh radio frequency electromagnetic field or ultrasonic waves to produce heating of the tumor tissue to the temperature of 43.0.degree.-43.5.degree. C. for a period of 5-45 minutes.

  • Patent number: 5108359
    Abstract: The subject of this invention is in the field of medicine, particularly surgery, and is intended for the treatment of benign tumors and angiomas. A hemangioma is an angioma, or tumor, formed by an anomalous proliferation of vascular endothelium, forming an undesirable mass, which can occur anywhere in the body. The resulting disease is known as hemangiomatosis. The method of this invention is comprised of a reduction of the arterial blood flow to the hemangioma which limits the blood circulation in the tumor mass, thus creating favorable conditions for subsequent ferromagnetic embolization from externally and selectively applied electromagnetic or ultrasound energy and sclerotization of the tumor tissue, preventing the spread of ferromagnetic particles through the vessels and into other organs and systems.
