In Silico Approach Towards Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia in Cancer Treatment: Modeling and Simulation presents a comprehensive mathematical modeling and simulation framework that offers an alternative to costly and time-consuming in-vivo and in-vitro studies. By employing finite element method-based models, researchers have simulated various hyperthermia processes involving liver, brain, and breast tumors on the COMSOL Multiphysics software. These simulations address key challenges such as constant versus variable heat sources, backflow problems, enhanced permeation and retention effects, flow around Happels sphere in cell model structures, deformation effects in poroelastic brain tumors, 3D flow through porous tissue, reacting nanofluid flows, and parameter optimization for quantitative analysis. This valuable reference serves as a crucial resource for hyperthermia treatment planning in clinical applications, providing practitioners, non-medical practicing scientists, and engineers with a comprehensive compendium. It also serves as a valuable source of information for both research and medical practice in the field of hyperthermia treatment planning.
