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 ...

As metals are added to gold during jewelry-making, the gold becomes less fine and the number of karats drops. For example, 12 karat gold contains 50% gold and 50% alloys by weight. The word karat comes from the carob seed. In ancient Asian bazaars, the seeds were used to balance scal...
Radiation therapy and phototherapy are commonly used cancer treatments that offer advantages such as a low risk of adverse effects and the ability to target cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. A promising strategy for cancer treatment involves using nanoparticles (NPs) in combination with radiati...

Nanotechnology, an interdisciplinary research field involving chemistry, engineering, biology, and medicine, has great potential for early detection, accurate diagnosis, and personalized treatment of cancer (Cai and Chen 2007). Nanoparticles are typically smaller than several hundred nanometers in size, ...
BSA-coated ultrasmall fluorescent gold nanoclusters have been utilized for the treatment of bone loss. In addition, AuNPs can be combined with vesicles [125,126,127] or incorporated into hydrogel formulations that can be used locally in bone defects with slow-release osteogenic effects [128]. Howe...
Gold Nanoparticles based Plasmonic Photothermal Therapy (PPTT) has recently been extensively studied in cancer treatment, based on the local hyperthermia induced by their plasmonic photothermal effect on cancer cells or tissues. Although AuNPs with various morphologies have shown photothermal conversion capab...
The cancer cells were incubated for 24 hours before the treatment. All compounds were dissolved in 50% DMSO. Therefore, DMSO was used as a negative control. Complexes 1-5 and cisplatin (positive control) at 0.01 μM, 0.05 μM, 0.1 μM, 1 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM, and 50 μM ...
