Gold nanoparticles for cancer radiotherapy: a review

Abstract: 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 deposited energy can adversely affect healthy tissue outside the tumour volume, especially in the case of photon radiation (gamma and X-rays). Improved radiotherapy outcomes can be achieved by employing ion beams due to the characteristic energy deposition curve which culminates in a localised, high radiation dose (in form of a Bra… Show more

“…For EBRT, radiation beams such as high-energy x-rays, electron or proton beams from outside the body are placed directly onto tumors to induce cancer cell death. [2,[4][5][6][7][13][14][15][16] Despite the wide use of RT for cancer treatment, it still has many shortcomings. [7][8][9][10][11][12] While EBRT has been extensively employed for treatment of local solid tumors such as breast, colorectal, esophageal, head and neck, lung, prostate, and brain tumors, RIT can be used to treat both local tumors as well as metastatic tumors spread throughout the body.…”

“…proton) juttatnak a tumoros szövetbe, ami visszafordíthatatlan károsodásokat okoz a rákos sejtekben [114]. A sejtekbe jutott fotonok vagy ionok képesek közvetlenül is kárt okozni a DNS szerkezetében, de előidézik különböző reaktív gyökök képződését is, melyek tovább károsítják a tumorsejtek DNS állományát.…”

“…Jelenleg az egészséges szövetek károsodását úgy próbálják csökkenteni, hogy a tumoros szövetet több szögből sugarazzák be és a tumor ezeknek a sugaraknak a keresztmetszetébe esik. Ilyen módon a rákos szövetet magasabb dózisú károsító hatás éri, míg az egészséges szövetek csak kisebb dózisban részesülnek [114]. Az egészséges szövetek károsodását csökkentheti számos tumorsejt szelektív, radioszenzitizáló vegyület használata.…”
