Annotation:

Using magnetic Nano Particles (mNP) is a the most promising technology in cancer local hyperthermia treatment. In this article we have investigated temperature rise in Brest cancer during local hyperthermia treatment for different dosage of mNP in Brest tumor area, for 2mm realistic female model. It is shown, that temperature rise is localized in tumor area. Tumor is modeled as 1cm cube. Tumor density is taken as 20\% more than healthy tissue. Ambient temperature is set Ta= 22, and we have convective boundary condition between Skin and Air. Temperature rise is calculated during 30min, what is common in hypothermia treatment.
