The present invention relates to albumin nanoparticles exhibiting a photoacoustic contrast effect and an anticancer effect. More specifically, the present invention provides nanoparticles exhibiting a photoacoustic contrast effect and an anticancer effect, wherein the albumin nanoparticles comprise a poorly water soluble material and melanin, have a diameter of 100-300 nm, and form self-aggregates. In cases where the nanoparticles of the present invention are injected into human or animal body, the nanoparticles are accumulated in cancer tissues by an EPR effect, and thus can perform cancer diagnosis and cancer treatment at the same time. |
