Popis: The prognosis for Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is unfavorable, necessitating the development of new therapeutic approach such as magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) which is induced by magnetic nano-particle (MNPs) drug to bridge the treatment gap. Given the deep location of CCA within the abdominal cavity and proximity to vital organs, accurately predict the individualized treatment effects and safety brought by the distribution of MNPs in tumor will be crucial for the advancement of MHT in CCA. The Mimics software was used in this study to conduct three-dimensional reconstruction of abdominal computed tomography (CT) and magnetic reso-nance imaging images from clinical patients, resulting in the generation of a realistic digital geometric model representing the human biliary tract and its adjacent structures. Subsequently, The COMSOL Multiphysics software was utilized for modeling CCA and calculating the heat transfer law resulting from the multi-regional distribution of MNPs in CCA. The temperature within the central region of irregular CCA measured approximately 46°C, and most areas within the tumor displayed temperatures surpassing 41°C. The temperature of the inner edge of CCA is only 39 ∼ 41℃, however, it can be ameliorated by adjusting the local drug concentration through simulation system. For CCA with diverse morphologies and anatomical locations, the multi-regional distribution patterns of intratumoral MNPs and a slight overlap of drug distribution areas synergistically enhance intratumoral temperature while ensuring treatment safety. The present study highlights the practicality and imperative of incorporating personalized intratumoral MNPs distribution strategy into clinical practice for MHT, which can be achieved through the development of an integrated simulation system which incorporates medical image data and numerical calculations.
