Abstract: A sensitizing composition for thermal cancer therapy using electromagnetic waves. The sensitizing composition increases sensitivity upon treatment of cancer using electromagnetic waves, and includes a metal ion, a metal ion-bound material, “metal ion-noncovalently bound apotransferrin” (transferrin), or a metal ion-noncovalently bound apotransferrin derivative. The sensitizing composition that targets cancer enables selective delivery of the metal ion to tumorous tissue when administered in vivo, and thus the generation of heat in tumorous tissue in which the metal ion accumulates is increased upon thermal cancer therapy using electromagnetic waves, thereby maximizing the efficacy of the thermal cancer therapy using electromagnetic waves in treating cancer. A thermal therapy using the sensitizing composition is effective for treating cancer without pain or side effects and can also be used in combination with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, etc., ultimately increasing the potential to cure cancer.
