Investigation of Sub-100 nm Gold Nanoparticles for Laser-Induced Thermotherapy of Cancer

Specialized gold nanostructures are of interest for the development of alternative treatment methods in medicine. Photothermal therapy combined with gene therapy that supports hyperthermia is proposed as a novel multimodal treatment method for prostate cancer. In this work, photothermal therapy usin...
