Nanotechnology as a Platform for Thermal Therapy of Prostate Cancer

Abstract

Wei Wang, Guihai Chen and Yongping Chen

Over the past several years, there has been increasing research and clinical interest in using nanotechnology for cancer therapy. Nanoparticle provides tremendous potential for future medical therapy. Besides targeting cancer cells, delivering and releasing drugs in a regulated manner, the specificity of nanoparticles is what makes thermal therapy as attractive as a cancer therapy. In this mini review, we discuss some of the recent advances of nanotechnology for thermal therapy of prostate cancer.
