Dissertation note: Thesis (Ph.D.) - Cairo University - National Institute of Laser Enhanced Sciences - Department of Laser Sciences and Interactions Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most known fatal malignancies. Globally, HCC is the fifth common cancer and it is the second causing death with 745,500 per year due to its poor prognosis. Chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV), fatty liver disease, exposure to dietary aflatoxin, alcohol-induced cirrhosis, smoking, obesity, diabetes, and iron overload have been frequently reported to precede the development of HCC. Currently, there is no effective treatment for advanced stages of HCC due to its aggressive nature and poor survival rate. A green method was used for producing gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) using chitosan as a natural cationic, biodegradable and biocompatible polymer. In an attempt to mitigate the side effects of anti-cancer drug, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), through reducing drug doses in photothermal therapy, the formed positively-charged chitosan-wrapped Au NPs were used as a drug delivery system for negatively charged 5-FU to HepG2. Au NPs as well as 5-FU@Au nanocomposites were characterized by UV-VIS spectroscopy, particle size, zeta potential, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
