Introduction

ONE PARAGRAPH and at least TWO REFERENCES
The field of magnetic hyperthermia has attracted a lot of attention in the past thirty years. It is an alternative cancer therapy method that proposes placing magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) in tumor cells under an environment of an alternating magnetic field. As the direction of the magnetic field alternates, MNPs undergo magnetic hysteresis losses, where these loses are dissipated to the surroundings as thermal energy. One of the biggest challenges to this field is the localization of MNPs in targeted tumor cells. Historically, scientists have had problems concentrating MNPs within tumor cells to produce sufficient heat for complete apoptosis. This inevitably leads to higher dosage of MNPs in this form of treatment. Our approach aims to solve this problem
