Gold nanoparticles enhance anti-tumor effect of radiotherapy to hypoxic tumor
PURPOSE Hypoxia can impair the therapeutic efficacy of radiotherapy (RT). Therefore, a new strategy is necessary for enhancing the response to RT. In this study, we investigated whether the combination of nanoparticles and RT is effective in eliminating the radioresistance of hypoxic tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) consisting of a silica core with a gold shell were use...
متن کاملImprovement of dose delivery with loading of tumor with gold nanoparticles in orthovoltage radiotherapy
Introduction: To enhance the dose to tumor, the use of high atomic number elements has been proposed. Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of gold nanoparticle distribution on dose enhancement in tumor when the tumor is irradiated by typical monoenergetic X-ray beams by considering homogeneous and inhomogeneous distributions of gold nanoparticles (GNPs)...
متن کاملThe use of gold nanoparticles to enhance radiotherapy in mice.
Mice bearing subcutaneous EMT-6 mammary carcinomas received a single intravenous injection of 1.9 nm diameter gold particles (up to 2.7 g Au/kg body weight), which elevated concentrations of gold to 7 mg Au/g in tumours. Tumour-to-normal-tissue gold concentration ratios remained approximately 8:1 during several minutes of 250 kVp x-ray therapy. One-year survival was 86% versus 20% with x-rays a...
متن کاملGold-gold sulfide nanoshell as a novel intensifier for anti-tumor effects of radiofrequency fields
Objective(s):Several studies have been carried out to investigate the effect of various nanoparticles exposed to radiofrequency (RF) waves on cancerous tissues. In this study, a colon carcinoma tumor model was irradiated by RF in the presence of gold-gold sulfide (GGS) nanoshells. Materials and Methods: Synthesis and characterization of GGS nanoshells were initially performed. CT26 cells were ...
متن کاملCarboplatin-based Nanomedicine to Enhance the Anticancer Effect in SK-NEP-1 Wilms' Tumor Cells
Wilms tumor (WT) is the most common pediatric malignant primary renal tumor. Carboplatin (CRB), a platinum compound is widely used in the treatment of multiple cancers including ovarian, lung, head and neck, and wilm’s tumor. However lower uptake of CRB in cancer cells and toxicity concerns in healthy cells often limited its clinical outcome. The aim of this study was to investigate the antitum...
