Introduction: Proton radiotherapy is the one of advanced teletherapy methods. The protons deposit their maximum energy in a position called Bragg peak. Therefore, for treatment of cancer, the tumor should be placed at the Bragg peak or SOBP. The scattered photons and neutrons is a challenge in proton radiotherapy. The aim of this study is calculation of absorbed dose from scatt...

Objective(s): Photo-thermal therapy (PTT) is a therapeutic method in which photon energy is converted into heat to induce hyperthermia in malignant tumor cells. In this method, energy conversion is performed by nanoparticles (NPs) to enhance induced heat efficacy. The low-cytotoxicity and high optical absorbance of NPs used in this technique are very important. In the present study, titanium di...

Correction for ‘Recent advances in cell membrane coated metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) tumor therapy’ by Weicong Liu et al., J. Mater. Chem. B, 2021, DOI: 10.1039/d1tb00453k.

Objective(s): Interleukin-12 (IL-12) as a cytokine has been proved to have a critical role in stimulating the immune system and has been used as immunotherapeutic agents in cancer gene therapy. Chitosan as a polymer, with high ability of binding to nucleic acids is a good candidate for gene delivery since it is biodegradable, biocompatible and non-allergenic polysaccharide. The objective of the...

Background: Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor with extensive local invasion. It often presents with a lump in the perineal area and pelvic. Since it often does not involve adjacent organs such as the urethra and anus, does not cause obstructive symptoms. Its incidence is 6 times higher in women than men. This tumor grows slowly and has a slight tendency to metastasize. However,...

Abstract Despite continual progress in the technologies and regimens for cancer therapy, treatment outcome of fatal metastatic breast is far from satisfactory. Encouragingly, nanotechnology has emerged as a valuable tool to optimize drug delivery process therapy via preventing cargos degradation, improving tumor-targeting efficiency, enhancing therapeutic agents’ retention specific sites, contr...

Although great achievements have been made in the past decades medicine, cancer remains a worldwide public health issue. Surgery is usually accompanied by shortcomings such as residual lesions and poor treatment effects, successive appearance of other methods, radiotherapy chemotherapy, has not changed postoperative recurrence rate, toxicity, side effects. However, advent photodynamic therapy g...
