Abstract
The present invention provides an improved method for treatment of diseased tissue, which comprises the steps of: (i) selecting at least a magnetic material which has a magnetic heating efficiency of at least about 4.5.times.10.sup.-8 J.m./A.g, when rotational magnetic field conditions are equal to or less than about 5.times.10.sup.8 A/m.s; (ii) delivering the magnetic material to a patient's diseased tissue; and (iii) exposing the magnetic material to a rotational magnetic field with a frequency of greater than about 10 kHz and a field strength selected such that the product of field strength, frequency and the radius of the exposed region is less than about 7.5.times.10.sup.7 A/s to generate hysteresis heat in the diseased tissue.
