Boosted Hyperthermia Therapy by Combined AC Magnetic and Photothermal Exposures in Ag/Fe3O4 Nanoflowers

摘要: Over the past two decades, magnetic hyperthermia and photothermal therapy are becoming very promising supplementary techniques to well-established cancer treatments such as radiotherapy chemotherapy. These have dramatically improved their ability perform controlled treatments, relying on procedure of delivering nanoscale objects into targeted tumor tissues, which can release therapeutic killing doses heat either upon AC field exposure or laser irradiation. Although an intense research effort has been made in recent years study, separately, using iron oxide nanoparticles based gold silver plasmonic nanostructures, full potential combining both not yet systematically explored. Here we present a proof-of-principle experiment showing that designing multifunctional silver/magnetite (Ag/Fe3O4) nanoflowers acting dual agents is efficient route for enhancing heating ability...
