摘要
Laser based cancer therapy of gold nanoparticles targeted breast tumor is an effective modality to kill cancer cells selectively without affecting healthy tissues. Nanophotolysis approach for selective smash up the breast cancer cells is used in the present study. Different parameters concerning nanophotolysis, such as the energy of nanobullets, velocity of the shock front, Coulomb pressure and nanosecond short pulse duration with absorption depth of gold foil have been discussed in detail. Results are suitable for breast tumor size 0.022 cm which approximately exists near the armpit of women.
