Radiosensitizing Prostate Cancer Though the Simultaneous Administration of Gold Nanoparticles and Chemotherapeutics

Radiotherapy with a 6 MV linear accelerator is extensively employed in cancer treatment, particularly for targeting deep-seated tumors. In our work, we have focused on maximizing the dose that can be safely delivered to patients. Our primarygoal is to optimiz...

Evaluation of Synergistic Radiosensitization Using Gold Nanoparticles and paclitaxel for HDR Brachytherapy In 2D and 3D Prostate Cancer Models

To investigate the synergistic radiosensitization of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and paclitaxel (PTX) in high dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy for prostate cancer using 2D (monolayer) and 3D (spheroid) cell models. HDR is used as a localized boost following extern...
