Review of Metal, Carbon and Polymer Nanoparticles for Infrared Photothermal Therapy

Abstract: The aim of this review is to provide an up-to-date overview of nanoparticles developed for use as photothermal therapy agents (PTT) over the past five years. The main emphasis is on nanoparticles that absorb near infrared (NIR) light for PTT of cancer. Mild hyperthermia, including drug delivery, versus thermal ablation is also discussed. Recent advances in the synthesis of highly anisotropic novel metal nanoparticles for PTT are described. New metals and metal oxide complexes, as well as the use of quantum dot… Show more

“…Nowadays, nanomaterials are more and more exploited to enhance sensing performances due to the possibility to immobilize more bioreceptor units at reduced volumes and even to act themselves as transduction elements. Nanoparticles, including metallic ones (Baioni et al, 2008;Hrapovic et al, 2004;Salimi et al, 2009;Su et al, 2003), polymer ones (Graham et al, 2013;Kumari et al, 2010;Pu et al, 2014;van Vlerken and Amiji, 2006), magnetic ones (Ito et al, 2005;McBain et al, 2008;Reiss and Hutten, 2005), have all found great usage in biomedical applications.…”

“…Ablative hyperthermia represents a therapy capable of achieving necrotic cell death through elevated temperature (T > 45 °C), but current methods of ablation cannot safely address diffuse disease 10 12 . A method of targeting ablative hyperthermia to diffuse micrometastases is through the use of photothermal nanoparticles, which are capable of producing heat under photoexcitation 13 , 14 . Such nanoparticles can be tuned to absorb near-infrared (NIR) light to exploit the maximum penetration of longer wavelengths into tissue within the biological absorption minimum window 15 .…”

“…More localized and effective hyperthermia can be achieved with heat-generating-nanoparticles compared to direct heating of the bulk carrier fluid by heat exchanger [18][19][20]. A recent study has shown that rapid hyperthermia generated by photothermal nanoparticles (nanoparticles capable of generating heat following light stimulation) can achieve increased cell killing in thermotolerant breast cancer stem cells compared to bulk heating [21].…”
