development of resistance. Here, we fabricated Fe3O4nanoparticleclusters (NPCs), which have drawn widespread attention, and investigated their role in the treatment of melanoma by photothermal therapy (PTT). Scanning electron microscopy imaging shows that our synthesized NPCs are spherical with an average
the promise of Fe3O4 NPCs as a new PTT option to treat melanoma.

The global incidence of melanoma, one of the deadliest forms of cancer, has kept increasing annually over the
show that clustered magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles induce a redshift in the light absorption spectra, which enhances light absorbance within the NIR region and improves their utilization as photosensitizers during PTT to ablate lung tumors [16]. However, the role of Fe3O4nanoparticleclusters in the
