Abstract
According to research, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), ranks third globally in terms of cause of death and is the fifth most common type of cancer overall. Finding novel means of diagnosis and treatment is therefore crucial. The use of nanotechnology as a cancer treatment has drawn a lot of interest recently. Despite significant advancements in detection and treatment, there is still a long way to go before this disease is completely eradicated. Therefore, it’s critical to find innovative ways to diagnose and cure conditions. In particular, the substantial inertness of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) and their nanoscale structures, which have sizes comparable to many biological molecules, attract a great deal of interest in the biomedical field. Due to their exceptional optical qualities, chemically modified surface through the attachment of various ligands, biocompatibility (bio-inertness and low cytotoxicity), and superior optical properties, gold NPs (AuNPs) have garnered significant interest. The current review discusses the efficiency of AuNPs in various fields, including imaging, immunotherapy, and photothermal therapy for treating liver cancer. Finally, this review summarized the limitations of the prospects of the AuNPs.
