Then they will be irradiated by a nearinfrared laser, to generate diagnosis, imaging and therapy of cancer: 1) At low laser power, the photoacoustic effects will result into the generation of ultrasound, which will be used for the molecular diagnosis and imaging of the cancer cells, even in small metastases; 2) At higher laser power, the photothermal and photoacoustic response will lead to the formation of cavitation micro-bubbles, which will damage the membranes and induce the apoptosis of the cancer cells with high efficiency, selectivity and non-invasiveness.
