The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Physical approaches to biomaterial design (2009, background): “Several studies also report on the use of carbon nanotubes or gold nanorods, in combination with an appropriate surface ligand, for targeted delivery to tumours in vivo”
Toxicity and cellular uptake of gold nanoparticles: what we have learned so far? (2010, positive): “This temperature rise is enough to kill nearby cells (e.g., cancer cells or pathogenic bacteria) (Hirsch et al. 2003; Dickerson et al. 2008; Jain et al. 2008; Norman et al. 2008; von Maltzahn et al. 2009).”
Computationally Guided Photothermal Tumor Therapy Using Long-Circulating Gold Nanorod Antennas (2009, background): “(5, 6, 9, 10), with the most recent data showing complete resorption off55% andf25% of irradiated tumors, respectively (11, 12).”
Gold Nanoparticles in Diagnostics and Therapeutics for Human Cancer (2018, background): “According to the reported studies, more than 50% of the mice treated with a single administration of PEGylated gold nanoparticles and a single 10 min laser exposure showed no recurrence of the disease even after 2 weeks [55].”
