TEM image of gAuNRs (A); TEM images of PC3 cells treated with gAuNRs (B) and pAuNRs (C) for 24Â h of incubation. Arrows point to AuNRs; D Tumor-growth in nude mouse xenograft models with and without treatment by AuNRs before radiation therapy (RT) with 6 MV beam. The inside is the table showing tumor-growth delays, comparing the groups that given either gAuNR and RT (filled triangle) or pAuNR and RT (open circle) with the groups that given only RT (filled square) and no treatment (open square)
