Chemotherapeutic drugs target rapidly dividing cells, and thus not only kill cancer cells, but also destroy normal cells like bone marrow cells and immune cells[2]. This gives rise to widespread "collateral damage" in the patient's body. Radiation therapy involves the use of high- energy ...
Radionuclide therapy (RT) is widely used to advanced local cancers. However, its therapeutic efficacy is limited to the radiation resistance of cancer cells. Combination therapy aims to circumvent tumor resistance, and the combination of RT with photothe
Cancer is a grievous disease whose treatment requires a more efficient, non-invasive therapy, associated with minimal side effects. Gold nanoparticles possessing greatly impressive optical properties have been a forerunner in bioengineered cancer therapy. This theranostic system has gained immense popularity ...
With the increasing number incidence of fatal diseases like cancer, there is a growing need for precise diagnosis and efficient therapy [1]. Therefore, nanomedicines have been proposed to use nanotechnology to endow both imaging and therapeutic capabilities to achieve cancer theranostics [2,3,4,5,6...

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...
Many kinds of delivery systems have been developed for bladder cancer therapy using different materials and types of nanoparticles, such as metal/gold, polymeric, liposome and lipid, and protein nanoparticles. 3 Application of Nanoparticles in Urinary Bladder Cancer 3.1 Metal/Gold Nanoparticles Metal ...
