Anticancer using Fe2O3-laden macrophages. Macrophages derived from patients are treated by Fe2O3 nanoparticles and reinjected into the bloodstream. They are attracted by the tumor where they accumulate. Low-intensity radiation activates iron NPs, which release toxic photoelectrons in the tumor, leaving the surrounding tissue undamaged.
