Despite many endeavors to treat malignant gliomas in the last decades, the median survival of patients has not significantly improved. The infiltrative nature of high-grade gliomas and the impermeability of the blood-brain barrier to the most therapeutic agents remain major hurdles, impeding an efficacious treatment. Theranostic platforms bridging diagnosis and therapeutic modalities aim to surmount the current limitations in diagnosis and therapy of glioma. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) due to their biocompatibility and tunable optical properties have widely been utilized for an assortment of theranostic purposes. In this Review, applications of AuNPs as imaging probes, drug/gene delivery systems, radiosensitizers, photothermal transducers, and multimodal theranostic agents in malignant gliomas are discussed. This Review also aims to provide a perspective on cancer theranostic applications of AuNPs in future clinical trials.
