This work presents in brief some expectations related to the solution of certain biomedical problems by using a non-conventional physical method: The high-gradient magnetic separation (HGMS). At first a short presentation of the HGMS method is given and then its application in separation of the human blood components is reported. The up to date intensely studied method with magnetic carriers is then described. Among other things, this method enables the cancer tumors treatment by intracavity radiotherapy, drug targeting, and diagnosis exploration.
