Radiotherapy is currently used in around 50% of cancer treatments and relies on the
deposition of energy directly into tumour tissue. Although it is generally effective, some of the …

Nanoparticles have unique, size-dependent properties, which means they are widely used
in various branches of industry. The ability to control the properties of nanoparticles makes …

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 …

Enhancement of radiation effects by high-atomic number nanoparticles (NPs) has been
increasingly studied for its potential to improve radiotherapeutic efficacy. The underlying …

Platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) have a well-established role as a classic heterogeneous
catalyst. Also, Pt has traditionally been employed as a component of organometallic drug …

AGuIX® are sub-5 nm nanoparticles made of a polysiloxane matrix and gadolinium
chelates. This nanoparticle has been recently accepted in clinical trials in association with …

Radiotherapy, where ionizing radiation is locally delivered either through an external beam
or by surgically implanting radionuclide-based seeds in the tumor, is one of the gold …

Simple Summary Although colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer, its
treatment strategies still have room for improvement, as current techniques carry risks that …

Radiotherapy is a key pillar of solid cancer treatment. Despite high level of conformal dose
deposition, radiotherapy is limited due to co-irradiation of organs-at risk and subsequent …

Abstract Platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) have numerous applications in various sectors,
including pharmacology, nanomedicine, cancer therapy, radiotherapy, biotechnology and …
