The radiosensitization of melanoma cells by gold nanorods irradiated with MV X-ray

Melanoma is known to be radioresistant and traditional treatments have been intractable, and therefore, novel approaches are required to improve therapeutic efficacy. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have been explored as radiosensitizers, while most of the research in the area has focused on the enhanceme...
