To treat the cancer is an inherently difficult. Sometimes after tumors have been removed, residual cancer cells remain and even live. Also, parts of a tumor cannot be removed in some cases because cancer cells attach to a vital organ.The therapeutic values of Gold nanoparticles are related with their distinctive physical properties, their interaction with tumors and destroy cancer cells. By the help of enhanced permeability characteristics of the dozens of Gold nanoparticles, cancer cells can be enveloped and annihilated.Gold nanoparticles can damage cancer cells by photo thermal ablation through mechanical damage. Therefore, healthy cells can live untouched. Moreover, because of their high atomic mass,gold nanoparticlescan absorb significantly moreradiationthan soft tissue cells which leads to be an ideal for boosting theradiation dosein tumors and also enhancing contrast of specific tissues during diagnostic imaging.
