Abstrakt:	A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Twente in the Netherlands explored the use of magnetic nanoparticles in aiding preoperative lymph node staging and detecting lymph nodes in prostate cancer patients. The study involved injecting patients with a magnetic tracer and conducting magnetic measurements using handheld probes. The researchers found that the magnetic procedure was feasible and effective in identifying lymph nodes. This pilot study provides valuable insights into the potential use of magnetic nanoparticles in improving lymph node detection in prostate cancer patients. [Extracted from the article]
