Abstract

In recent years, there has been a great deal of interest in the new therapy of cancer treatment. Photothermal therapy is one of the new ways to inhibit tumor formation. Many studies have confirmed gold nanoparticles can absorb light at specific wavelengths, especially near-infrared light, through their unique optical properties called localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) to achieve photothermal treatment of tumor cells. Moreover, a large number of experiments have shown that gold nanoparticles with different structures have different absorption spectra and LSPR peak position, which make them have different photothermal efficiencies. In addition, gold nanoparticles modified by different functionalized compounds have better biocompatibility and targeting ability, which greatly broadens the scope of its application in tumor photothermal therapy and improves the therapeutic effect. In this paper, we conclude recent progress in gold nanoparticles for cancer photothermal therapy. First, we introduce the optical properties of gold nanoparticles and the principle of photothermal conversion. Then, the influence of different nanostructures and functional modifications on the effect of photothermal treatment is discussed. Finally, we briefly describe several common types of multifunctional gold nanoparticles, and introduce their basic principles and functions. Due to the large amount of experimental data in relevant aspects, this paper mainly discusses the research progress of gold nanoparticles in the field of photothermal therapy after 2015.
