Abstract

Nanotechnology offers unique opportunities for cancer detection, therapy and the ability to monitor therapeutic interventions. This potential has to be analyzed in context of challenges that need to be overcome in translation of nanoparticles to clinical applications including specific delivery in tissues and clearance from the body. Here, we will present a case study of plasmonic nanoparticles in cancer imaging and therapy.
