Abstract

In recent decades, there have been numerous advances in the eld of synthetic polymerbased nanoparticles and other materials as well as in the eld of biological cellular carriers with potential applications in diagnosis and treatment of cancer [1-4]. More recently, the use of metal nanoparticles has been explored with different biomedical applications [5]
