Nanoparticle radio-enhancement: principles, progress and application to cancer treatment

Résumé

Enhancement of radiation effects by high-atomic number nanoparticles (NPs) has been increasingly studied for its potential to improve radiotherapeutic efficacy. The underlying principle of NP radio-enhancement is the potential to release copious electrons into a nanoscale volume, thereby amplifying radiation-induced biological damage. While the vast majority of studies to date have focused on gold nanoparticles with photon radiation, an increasing number of experimental, theoretical and simulation studies have explored opportunities offered by other NPs (e.g. gadolinium, platinum, iron oxide, hafnium) and other therapeutic radiation sources such as ion beams. It is thus of interest to the research community to consolidate findings from the different studies and summarise progress to date, as well as to identify strategies that offer promising opportunities for clinical translation. This is the purpose of this Topical Review
