Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Hyperthermia has been studied for a long time for treating tumors. Recently, an application of gold (Au) nanorods (AuNRs), possessing high photothermal capability, in hyperthermia has attracted attention. To apply AuNRs in photothermal therapy of metastatic lymph nodes in mice, we produced AuNRs coated with silica (AuNR/SiO2). AuNR/SiO2 did not have cytotoxicity. When the AuNR/SiO2 nanoparticles were injected into the tumor of the model mouse with lymphatic metastasis, X-ray computed tomography showed that the nanoparticles were delivered to the metastatic lymph nodes and afferent lymphatic vessels. Then irradiation of the metastatic lymph nodes with a 700-nm laser was conducted. We successfully completed photothermal therapy of the metastatic lymph nodes.
