The document discusses the use of gold nanoparticles for cancer detection and treatment. It describes how gold nanoparticles can be functionalized with antibodies to detect specific cancer types by binding to protein markers on cancer cells. Laser-activated gold nanoparticles may also be used to destroy cancer cells through localized heating. The document also mentions potential applications for targeted drug delivery and angiogenesis inhibition. Overall, the document outlines how the optical and structural properties of gold nanoparticles can be exploited for cancer diagnosis and therapy.
