By exerting an external magnetic field an internal magnetic field gradient will be induced that will entrap the particles that contain the drugs in the affected region. By doing so only the affected region will be treated, leaving the rest of the body free from drugs and therefore the side effects are reduced as the total dose of the drugs is much lower than when more conventional procedures are used. Clinical trials have been performed using this technique on various types of cancer with promising results.
