In recent years, tremendous efforts have been devoted into the fields of valuable diagnosis and anticancer treatment, such as real-time imaging, photothermal, and photodynamic therapy, and drug delivery. As promising nanocarriers, gold nanomaterials have attracted widespread attention during the last two decades for cancer diagnosis and therapy due to their prominent properties. With the development of nanoscience and nanotechnology, the fascinating bio-applications of functionalized gold nanomaterials have been gradually developed from
