Chemosensitizer Loaded NIR-Responsive Nanostructured Lipid Carriers: A Tool for Drug-Resistant Breast Cancer Synergistic Therapy.

Although numerous technical advances have been made in cancer treatment, chemotherapy is still a viable treatment option. However, it is more effective when used in combination with photothermal therapy for resistant breast cancer cells. This study introduces a smart drug delivery system, (DOX-OA+VERA+AuNRs)@NLC, which is designed for dual chemo/photothermal therapy of multiple-drug-resistant breast cancer.
