Sequential Administration of Carbon Nanotubes and Near Infrared Radiation for the Treatment of Gliomas

Sequential Administration of Carbon Nanotubes and Near Infrared Radiation for the Treatment of Gliomas

The objective was to use carbon nanotubes (CNT) coupled with near infrared radiation (NIR) to induce hyperthermia, as a novel non-ionizing radiation treatment for primary brain tumors, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). In this study we report the therapeutic potential of hyperthermia-induced thermal ab...
