Radioactive Gold Nanoparticles Destroy Prostate Tumors, Leaving Healthy Tissue Untouched

(PhysOrg.com) -- One of the promises of nanoparticles as delivery agents for cancer therapeutics is that they will attack tumors while sparing healthy tissue from the damage normally associated with today's anticancer therapies. That promise is closer to realization thanks to the results of a study in which tumor-bearing mice were treated with a single dose of radioactive gold nanoparticles.
