    A Pilot Study of AuroLase™ Therapy (gold nano shells) in refractory and/or recurrent tumors of the head and neck was completed in 2009 [a] and two trials are currently using AuroLase™ therapy for the treatment of primary/metastatic lung cancer [b] and for prostate cancer. [c] Other gold nanoparticles on the market are mostly for synthesis ...

    Surgical removal of the prostate, or prostatectomy, is a common treatment either for early-stage prostate cancer or for cancer that has failed to respond to radiation therapy. The most common type is radical retropubic prostatectomy , when the surgeon removes the prostate through an abdominal incision.

    The advantage of this strategy is a reduction in both systematic and random errors. An example is the use of a marker-based program in the treatment of prostate cancer at Princess Margaret Hospital. Gold markers are implanted into the prostate to provide a surrogate position of the gland.

  5. Tumor marker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumor_marker

    A tumor marker is a biomarker that can be used to indicate the presence of cancer or the behavior of cancers (measure progression or response to therapy). They can be found in bodily fluids or tissue. Markers can help with assessing prognosis, surveilling patients after surgical removal of tumors, and even predicting drug-response and monitor ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunogold_labelling

    Gold particles can be created with a diameter of 1 nm (or lower) but another limitation is then realized—at these sizes the gold label becomes hard to distinguish from tissue structure. [ 2 ] [ 5 ] Thin sections are required for immunogold labeling and these can produce misleading images; a thin slice of a cell component may not give an ...

  7. High-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-grade_prostatic...

    There are several reasons why PIN is the most likely prostate cancer precursor. [3] PIN is more common in men with prostate cancer. High grade PIN can be found in 85 to 100% of radical prostatectomy specimens, [4] nearby or even in connection with prostate cancer. It tends to occur in the peripheral zone of the prostate.
