Purpose: Gold seed fiducial markers can be used to accurately define daily treatment field placement for prostate cancer patients. In 2007, a small study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of using gold seed fiducial markers. Methods: Eleven patients who attended for treatment had three ...
seed-mediated growth allows producing rod-shaped AUNPs. For this method, firstly seeds are synthesized using salts of gold, reduced by NaBH4-like reducing agents. Then the seed particles are transferred to a solution of gold salt and ascorbic acid like a weak reducing agent that obstructs the n...
Nanomedicines have made significant contributions to cancer therapy, prevention, and diagnosis in the last few decades. Various new nanomaterials, such as polymers, liposomes, quantum dots, dendrimers, and inorganic nanoparticles, have been explored for cancer diagnosis and treatment [4,5]. The multifu...
PTT can target while protecting healthy organs from cancer cells because AuNPs can be actively targeted to tumour sites using ligands specific to cancer cell markers or passively accumulated through the EPR effect. PTT is a highly tunable and noninvasive treatment option, but its efficacy depends ...

Methods An ethics committee approved database was used to review records of ...
Stage A (TO) prostate cancer is found on pathologic examination of tissue removed by transurethral resection or open prostatectomy from a palpably benign gland. Treatment options for these patients include observation, hormonal therapy, radical prostatectomy, and radiation therapy. This paper describes ...
