  Background: Breast cancer therapy, which includes surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and/or systemic therapy can have a profound impact on reproductive functions, leading to loss of fertility. To our knowledge, this is the first report on cancer photothermal therapy using gold nanorods on the mammary gland treatment of a cat, and the safe effect of the treatment on the reproductive function after tumor remission.
