Opis

Cancer is the leading cause of death in the world and is expected to estimate about 12 million deaths in 2030. Therefore, scientists are in continuous challenged in order to discover the most effective methods of cancer diagnosis, monitoring and treatment.The rapid progression of nanotechnology has support a great interest in the field of nanoparticle research, in particular, its medical applications. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as tumor sensors and drug delivery agents are used as enhancers in photothermal therapy of cancers.
