Consider potential of gold nanoparticles with proton therapy compared with KV and MEV X-ray therapy.
Introduction: Many study shown the effectiveness dose enhancement with gold nanoparticles (GNPs), especially with low-energy x-rays. Recently, proton beam radiation therapy (PBRT) has attention as a treatment for tumors. The advantage in PBRT, which releases high dose at the controllable Bragg peak position that localized for Au target and the released dose increased in depth....

Damage of the normal tissue is a serious concenrn in cancer treatment. Hyperthermia by laserhas been considered as a safe cancer treatments methods with lower harmful effects on normaltissues. Using nanoparticles in cancer treatment has improved laser therapy, which is based ona selective cell targeting method to localize cell damages. Metallic nanoparticles such as gold,silver, and copper have...
متن کاملGold nanoparticles in radiation therapy: an old story yet mesmerizing
Radiotherapy (RT) is generally considered to be one of the most effective cancer treatments. The primary goal of RT is to accurately induce radiation damage to the tumor while limiting radiation toxicity to a level acceptable to normal tissue. This is accomplished by targeting the tumor with radiation. On the other hand, the status of RT procedures as they stand today is not substantial enough ...
