碳纳米管光热治疗应用最新研究进展∗

摘要

Hyperthermia plays an important part in the field of tumor treatment.Among the variety of nanoma-terials,carbon nanotubes (CNTs)have attracted a great interest and became a research hotspot due to their potential for simultaneous imaging and therapy.Herein,the progress of carbon nanotubes in photothermal therapy over the years are reviewed,with emphasis on the selectivity and efficiency of carbon nanotubes in tumor treatment.In addi-tion,prospect for the future research development is discussed.%在肿瘤治疗领域中，热疗处于举足轻重的地位，而在众多的光热纳米材料中，碳纳米管(CNTs)能够同时用于光热成像和光热治疗，因而引起了广泛的兴趣，成为研究热点。主要综述了近年来碳纳米管用于光热治疗的研究进展，强调了其在肿瘤治疗方面的选择性及高效性，并对未来的发展做出展望。
