This review focuses on the radiosensitization strategies that use high-Z nanoparticles. It
does not establish an exhaustive list of the works in this field but rather propose constructive …

The past decade has seen a dramatic increase in interest in the use of gold nanoparticles
(GNPs) as radiation sensitizers for radiation therapy. This interest was initially driven by their …

Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have shown potential to be used as a radiosensitizer for
radiation therapy. Despite extensive research activity to study GNP radiosensitization using …

Despite their clinical success in drug delivery applications, the potential of theranostic
nanomedicines is hampered by mechanistic uncertainty and a lack of science-informed …

Radiation therapy (RT) is the treatment of cancer and other diseases with ionizing radiation.
The ultimate goal of RT is to destroy all the disease cells while sparing healthy tissue …

Research on the application of high-Z nanoparticles (NPs) in cancer treatment and
diagnosis has recently been the subject of growing interest, with much promise being shown …

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are emerging as promising agents for both cancer therapy and
computed tomography (CT) imaging. AuNPs absorb x-rays and subsequently release low …

Many tumor-targeted strategies have been used worldwide to limit the side effects and
improve the effectiveness of therapies, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy (RT), etc …

Simple Summary Recent advances in nanotechnology gave rise to trials with various types
of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) to enhance the radiosensitization of cancer cells while …

Recently, interactions of x-rays with gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and the resulting dose
enhancement have been studied using several Monte Carlo (MC) codes (Jones et al 2010 …
