Mo1688 LOCAL PHOTOTHERMAL THERAPY USING NANO FUNCTIONALIZED SELF EXPANDABLE METAL STENT IN AN ORTHOTOPIC MOUSE MODEL OF HUMAN COLON CANCER

Self-expandable stents for obstructing colorectal cancer offer an alternative palliative option to operative management. However, stent obstruction from tumor invasion decreases the stent patency and increases the rates of reintervention. Here, we developed a novel gold nanoparticle (GN) coated self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) for local heating induced suppression of tumor growth. The effectiveness was investigated in an orthotopic mouse model of human colon cancer.
