RESUMEN
Local targeted "inside-out" hyperthermia of tumors via nanoparticles is able to sensitize tumor cells to chemotherapy, radiation therapy, gene therapy, immunotherapy, or other effects, significantly reducing the duration and intensity of treatment. In this article, new nanomaterials are proposed to be used as anticancer agents: boron-doped nanodiamonds with sizes of about 10 nm synthesized for the first time by the high-temperature high-pressure (HTHP) method. The heating ability of boron-doped nanodiamonds was investigated under different heating conditions in different environments: water, chicken egg white, and MCF-7 breast cancer cells. It was discovered that, with the same conversion of the absorbed energy into heat, the ability to heat the environment when excited at a wavelength of 808 nm of boron-doped nanodiamonds is much higher than that of detonation nanodiamonds. It was established that boron-doped nanodiamonds are extremely promising for carrying out hyperthermia and thermoablation of tumors.
