Cytotoxicity Enhancement Of Low-Level Laser Irradiation On Gold Nanoparticles In Human Breast Cancer Mcf-7 Cell Line

Laser light is another option used to provide non-invasive or less invasive cancer therapy. In this study, low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is used as it is less invasive due to lower energy densities than other types of laser with a combination of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to enhance the effects of...

The result shows without AuNPs in all irradiation conditions, less cell inhibition occurred with viability percentage in range between 50 to 70 % indicating that the cells were less affected by the laser due to multifactor of radio-resistance.
