2017 – AACR-EORTC-NCI Monte Carlo Calculation

Today, more than half of all cancer patients receive radiotherapy as part of their treatment. However, radiotherapy efficacy is often limited by healthy tissues toxicity and needs to be optimized. One relevant solution is to increase the radiation dose deposition from within the tumor cells. […]

2012 – Efficacy of NBTXR3 in vitro and in vivo – Maggiorella et al.

In Vitro, In Vitro in Vivo NBTXR3, In Vivo, NO-RIGHTS, Publications

There is considerable interest in approaches that could improve the therapeutic window of radiotherapy. In this study, hafnium oxide nanoparticles were designed that concentrate in tumor cells to achieve intracellular highenergy dose deposit. Materials & methods: Conventional methods were used, implemented in different ways, to explore interactions of these high-atomicnumber nanoparticles and ionizing radiation with biological systems.
