This is achieved by utilizing a circular current's electric and magnetic field spatial distributions. The studies are done for pancreatic cancer. Computational electromagnetic and temperature distributions are presented for a full-body, 3D human model. The results showed that the proposed human-sized coil could provide clinically relevant AMF to cancerous regions while causing negligible Joule heating to normal tissue, compared to commonly used AMF coils.  \nAbstract: Magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) hyperthermia therapy is a treatment technique that can be used alone or as an adjunct to radiation and/or chemotherapies for killing cancer cells. During treatment, MNPs absorb a part of electromagnetic field (EMF) energy and generate localized heat when subjected to an alternating magnetic field (AMF) . The MNP-absorbed EMF energy, which is characterized by a specific absorption rate (SAR), is directly proportional to AMF frequency and the magnitude of transmitting currents in the coil. Furthermore, the AMF penetrates inside tissue and induces eddy currents in electrically conducting tissues, which are proportional to the electric field (J = 􀀛E) . The eddy currents produce Joule heating (\u003CJ􀀁E> = 0 .5􀀁􀀛􀀁E2 ) in the normal tissue, the rate of energy transfer to the charge carriers from the applied electric fields. This Joule heating contains only the electric field because the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the velocity of the conduction charges, i.e., it does not produce work on moving charge. Like the SAR due to MNP, the electric field produced by the AMF coil is directly proportional to AMF frequency and the magnitude of transmitting currents in the coil. As a result, the Joule heating is directly proportional to the square of the frequency and transmitter current magnitude. Due to the fast decay of magnetic fields from an AMF coil over distance, MNP hyperthermia treatment of deep-seated tumors requires high-magnitude transmitting currents in the coil for clinically achievable MNP distributions in the tumor. This inevitably produces significant Joule heating in the normal tissue and becomes more complicated for a standard MNP hyperthermia approach for deep-seated tumors, such as pancreatic, prostate, liver, lung, ovarian, kidney, and colorect","cbCaiqZ3d8DBPZ3v","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqZ3d8DBPZ3v","pdf",5854500,"English","# Simple Summary\n# Abstract\n# Keywords\n# 1.
