Abstract
Abstract:
The growth of nanotechnology has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of diseases with high precision
and effectiveness. Nanoparticles (NPs) represent a major point of attention in the scientific field, with an increasing
number of studies revealing promising results. The unique physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, and highly
developed chemical properties of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have promoted breakthroughs in the cancer community,
focusing on the therapeutic and diagnostic applications of cancer diagnosis and treatment. This perspective aims to
summarize the latest research on multifunctional AuNPs as therapeutic, diagnostic agents in cancer diagnosis and
treatment. Several nanostructured hybrid AuNPs have been reviewed, and their applications in imaging, targeting,
therapy, and delivery have been discussed.
