Effect of Gold Nanosemicubes with and without laser exposure on Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma cell line

Abstract

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) represents the most common neoplasm affecting head and neck with a percentage of 95%. The unsatisfactory five years’ survival rate persists despite constant improvement in conventional treatment modalities. Photothermal properties of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) could be employed as a promising alternative therapeutic modality for cancer.
