Nanoparticles (NPs) have been increasingly studied for radiosensitization. The principle of
NPs radio-enhancement is to use high-atomic number NPs (eg gold, hafnium, bismuth and …

Nanoparticle-based radio-sensitizers can amplify the effects of radiation therapy on tumor
tissue even at relatively low concentrations while reducing the potential side effects to …

Radiotherapy is a major tumor treatment approach in clinical, however, the use of high-dose
X-rays during therapy inevitably causes damage to nearby healthy tissues, greatly reducing …

Radiation‐induced lung injury (RILI) is a potentially fatal and dose-limiting complication of
thoracic cancer radiotherapy. However, effective therapeutic agents for this condition are …

The radio-resistance of tumor tissues has been considered a great challenge for cancer
radiotherapy (RT). The development of nanoparticle (NP)-based radio-sensitizers can …

With the development of radiotherapeutic oncology, computer technology and medical
imaging technology, radiation therapy has made great progress. Research on the impact …

The radiotherapy enhancement effect of numerous nanosensitizers is based on the
excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and only a few systematic reviews …

In recent years, high atomic number nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as promising radio-
enhancer agents for cancer radiation therapy due to their unique properties. Multi …

This review focuses on the radiosensitization strategies that use high-Z nanoparticles. It
does not establish an exhaustive list of the works in this field but rather propose constructive …

At the onset of radiation exposure, free radicals are formed through ionizing reactions that
are then capable of destroying normal tissues. While cells release a level of protective …
