Influence of natural convection on gold nanorods-assisted photothermal treatment of bladder cancer in mice

Background The thermally-induced urine flow can generate cooling that may alter the treatment outcome during hyperthermic treatments of bladder cancer. This paper investigates the effects of natural convection inside the bladder and at skin surface during gold nanorods (GNR) - assisted photothermal...
