Catalytic activity imperative for nanoparticle dose enhancement in photon and proton therapy

Nanoparticles have recently received attention in radiation therapy since they can act as radioenhancers. In this article, the authors report on the dose enhancement capabilities of a series of nanoparticles based on their metal core composition and beam characteristics, obtaining designing criteria...
