Nanoparticles stand out for their ability to perform multiple tasks and their small size. It is possible to use nanoparticles to deliver drugs to specific sites in the body, as well as to increase cellular absorption. Gold nanoparticles, which are the most extensively investigated of all metallo-nanoparticles, are the focus of this review. Anti-cancer medications are available; however, necrosis of both malignant and
