The comet assay is very simple and cost efficient, and is relatively sensitive for screening the genotoxicity of Au-NPs in in vitro and in vivo test systems. "

Gold nanoparticles (Au‐NPs) have been widely used in biomedical fields such as imaging, diagnosis, and treatment because of their special characteristics. Au‐NPs can be synthesized using several methods, including the biological method, also called green or eco‐friendly synthesis. Recent studies have reported the anticancer activity of biosynthesized Au‐NPs, especially in lung cancer. This review focused on the advances in the antilung cancer activity of biosynthesized Au‐NPs and its potential mechanisms.
