Nanoparticle Enhanced Radiation Killing of Cancer Cells
Introduction One half of cancer patients receive radiation therapy at some time during the course of treatment.Existing radiation therapy of cancer using external X-ray beam relies on free radicals generated from water radiolysis to damage DNA, and the selectivity of tumor killing is due to diminished ability of cancer cells to repair damaged DNA.A great challenge of external beam X-ray radiation therapy is that high dose radiation damage surrounding healthy tissues.Although many techniques have been used to enhance the radiosensitivity of tumor, and minimize X-ray doses on normal cells, at time when radiation dose is sufficient to kill tumor, damage to normal cells already occurs, which causes adversary effect of radiation therapy.
