Gold nanoparticles in some chemical and photothermal applications of cancer therapy

Gold nanoparticles exhibit an array of properties, both intrinsic (chemical) and extrinsic (photothermal), that can be exploited for their use in cancer therapeutics. Owing to their size and ease with which they can be functionalized with various ligands, gold nanoparticles represent a class of high...
