Thermal analysis of laser irradiation-gold nanorod combinations at 808 nm, 940 nm, 975 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths in breast cancer model.

The thermal responses of different GNR-laser wavelength combinations quantitatively validate the widespread usage of 808 nm laser for nanoparticle-assisted photothermal procedures. Moreover, our results provide insights on other usable wavelengths, toward the identification of an effective photothermal treatment strategy for the removal of focal malignancies.
