Fucoidan-coated gold nanorods were coupled with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor monoclonal antibodies as a novel photothermal ablation agent for cancer nanotheranostics in research by Panchanathan Manivasagan et al. In this way, the agent served as a prospective agent for use in cancer nanotheranostics in the future (Manivasagan et al., 2017). This evidence concerns the gene EGFR and cancer.
