Radiotherapy is one of the major therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment. In the past
decade, there has been growing interest in using high Z (atomic number) elements …

There is considerable interest in the use of heavy atom nanoparticles as theranostic contrast
agents due to their high radiation cross-section compared to soft tissue. However, published …

Introduction: The integration of diagnostic testing for the presence of a molecular target is of
interest to predict successful targeted radionuclide therapy (TRNT). This so-called …

Backgroud Small metallic nanoparticles are proposed as potential nanodrugs to optimize
the performances of radiotherapy. This strategy, based on the enrichment of tumours with …

Remotely and locally triggered release of therapeutic species by X-ray irradiation is highly
desired to enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy. However, the development of such X-ray …

In cancer radiation therapy, dose enhancement by nanoparticles has to date been
investigated only for external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). Here, we report on an in silico …

Radiation therapy is often limited by damage to healthy tissue and associated side-effects;
restricting radiation to ineffective doses. Preferential incorporation of materials into tumour …

Background and purpose One of the new challenges to improve radiotherapy is to increase
the ionizing effect by using nanoparticles. The interest of titanate nanotubes (TiONts) …

Radiotherapy (RT) remains one of the current main treatment strategies for many types of
cancer. However, how to improve RT efficiency while reducing its side effects is still a large …

Recently, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is one of the new clinical options by generating
cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill cancer cells. However, the optical approach …
