Cancer represents one of the main causes of human death in developed countries. Most
current therapies, unfortunately, carry a number of side effects, such as toxicity and damage …

The theranostic potential of several nanostructures has been discussed in the context of
photothermal therapies and imaging. In the last several decades, the burden of cancer has …

This study demonstrates the capability of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) coupled
with laser irradiation to enhance treatment of cancer cells through enhanced and more …

Background Nanoparticles have significant potential as selective photo‐absorbing agents
for laser based cancer treatment. This study investigates the use of single walled carbon …

The degree by which optical properties of tumors are altered following introduction of carbon
nanotubes (CNTs) of varying concentration and type is poorly understood, making it difficult …

A new image analysis method called the spatial phantom evaluation of cellular thermal
response in layers (SPECTRL) is presented for assessing spatial viability response to …

Purpose: Sub-lethal temperature elevations in the tumour incurred during laser cancer
therapy can induce heat shock protein (HSP) expression leading to enhanced tumour …

Anticancer drugs such as biological therapeutic proteins and peptides are used for treatment
of a variety of tumors. However, their wider use has been hindered by their poor …

Aim: Nanoparticle-enhanced photothermal therapy is a promising alternative to tumor
resection. However, quantitative measurements of cellular response to these treatments are …

Developing combinatorial treatments involving laser irradiation and nanoparticles require an
understanding of the effect of nanoparticle inclusion on tissue thermal properties, such as …
