(Para)magnetic Hybrid Nanocomposites for Dual MRI Detection and Treatment of Solid Tumours.

We report a hybrid magnetic nanocomposite (mHNCs-Dox) incorporating a chemotherapeutic drug and dual superparamagnetic and paramagnetic cargo. This system exhibits dual contrast behaviour in magnetic resonance imaging as well as enhanced therapeutic anti-cancer capabilities as a thermo-enhanced chemotherapy effector.
