Cancer thermal therapy, also known as hyperthermia therapy, has long been exploited to
eradicate mass lesions that are now defined as cancer. With the development of …

Light-activated, photosensitizer-based therapies have been established as safe modalities
of tumour ablation for numerous cancer indications. Two main approaches are available …

Although chitin is of the most available biopolymers on Earth its uses and applications are
limited due to its low solubility. The deacetylation of chitin leads to chitosan. This biopolymer …

Photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted extensive research attention as a noninvasive and
selective treatment strategy for numerous cancers. PTT functions via photothermal effects …

Chitin and its deacetylated derivative chitosan are natural polymers composed of randomly
distributed β-(1-4)-linked d-glucosamine (deacetylated unit) and N-acetyl-d-glucosamine …

As a result of their unique compositions and properties, nanomaterials have recently seen a
tremendous increase in use for novel cancer therapies. By taking advantage of the optical …

This review describes the most common methods for recovery of chitin from marine
organisms. In depth, both enzymatic and chemical treatments for the step of deproteinization …

Cancer immunotherapy has recently gained much attention in the search of cancer cure due
to its ability to “train” the immune system in seeking out and removing residual tumor cells …

Cancer immunotherapy by educating or stimulating patients' own immune systems to attack
cancer cells has demonstrated promising therapeutic responses in the clinic. However …

In recent years, photothermal therapy (PTT) particularly nanomaterial-based PTT is a
promising therapeutic modality and technique for cancer tumor ablation. In addition to killing …
