Enhancement of radiation effect on cancer cells by gold-pHLIP.
Previous research has shown that gold nanoparticles can increase the effectiveness of radiation on cancer cells. Improved radiation effectiveness would allow lower radiation doses given to patients, reducing adverse effects; alternatively, it would provide more cancer killing at current radiation doses. Damage from radiation and gold nanoparticles depends in part on the Auger effect, which is v...
متن کاملEnhancement of radio-sensitivity of colorectal cancer cells by gold nanoparticles at 18 MV energy
Objective(s): Taking advantage of high atomic number of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) in radiation dose absorbing, many in vitro and in vivo studies have been carried out on using them as radio-sensitizer. In spite of noticeable dose enhancement by GNPs at keV energies, using this energy range for radiotherapy of deep-seated tumors is outdated. The aim of the present work was to examine the effect ...
متن کاملEnhancement of radio sensitization by gold-silica shell- core nanoparticle in MCF7 breast cancer cells
Introduction: In the present study, we investigated the role of gold-silica shell-core nanoparticle in megavoltage irradiation of MCF7 breast cancer cells. Materials and Methods: gold-silicon oxide shell-core nanoparticles (NPs) were obtained by conjugation of gold nanoparticle with amine or thiol functionalized silica nanoparticles (AuN@SiO2 and AuS@SiO...
متن کاملThe effect of gold nanoparticles on dose enhancement factor of human intestinal colon cancer HT-29 cells
Introduction: Radiation therapy is an important procedure for treatment of more than half of tumors. One way to increase the efficiency of radiation therapy is application of radiosensitizer at the site of tumor. gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have several characteristics that make them attractive for using with radiation therapy including small size (1–100 nm), biocompatibility, pr...
متن کاملGel dosimetry: The effect of gold nanoparticles on the dose enhancement in the external radiation therapy
Background: Normoxic type MAGICA gel dosimeters are established for dose quantification in three dimensions for radiotherapy. Objective(s): The ability of MAGICA polymer gel was assessed by experimental measurements method for studying the effect of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) in dose enhancement under the external 18MV radiotherapy practices. <...
