Zinc oxide nanofluids: The influence of modality combinations on prostate cancer DU145 cells.

Aim: The combination of phototherapy and chemotherapy (chemophototherapy), presents a promising multimodal method for comprehensive cancer treatment. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of low doses of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanofluids and ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation on the cytotoxicity and cellular uptake of doxorubicin (DOX) on human prostate cancer DU145 cells.

Materials And Methods: ZnO nanoparticles were prepared by the solvothermal method and 10% bovine serum albumin was used as the dispersant.
