Gold-Nanoparticle-Assisted Plasmonic Photothermal Therapy Advances Toward Clinical Application

Ali, Moustafa R. K., Wu, Yue, El-Sayed, Mostafa A.·2019·The Journal of Physical Chemistry C

Abstract

Plasmonic photothermal therapy (PPTT), a type of treatment involving the intravenous or intratumoral injection to introduce gold nanoparticles to cancerous cells and the subsequent exposure to heat-generating near-infrared (NIR) light, is a potentially favorable alternative to traditional treatments of localized tumors such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery. The current main concern of PPTT, however, is the feasibility of the treatment in clinical settings. Since PPTT’s initial use 15 years ago, thousands of studies have been published. In this feature article, we summarize the most recent scientific progress, including the efficacy, molecular mechanism, toxicity, and pharmacokinetics of PPTT in vitro with cancer cells and in vivo through mouse/rat model testing, animal clinical cases (such as dogs and cats), and human clinical trials. Given the benefits of PPTT, we believe that it will ultimately become a human clinical treatment that can aid in our ultimate goal of beating cancer.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
