Abstract

Nanoscience and nanotechnology involve the ability to see and to control individual atoms and molecules, by controlling shape and size at a nanometer scale of nanoparticles. At present, there seems to be heightened interest in the application of gold nanoparticles (AUNPs) to the management of cancer, encompassing diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of the disease and they are being investigated as drug carriers, photothermal agents, contrast agents and radiosensitizers. This review highlights the features, synthesis and applications of gold nanoparticles in cancer remedial treatment.
