Abstract
The use of gold nanoparticles as targeted, heating agents is currently being explored in the field of noninvasive radiofrequency cancer hyperthermia. This chapter gives an overview of the recent and current progress in this field, with a particular emphasis placed on gold nanoparticle heating mechanisms and their applications in in vitro and in vivo experimental models of hepatocellular carcinoma.
