Selective targeting of brain tumors with gold nanoparticle-induced radiosensitization.

Selective targeting of brain tumors with gold nanoparticle-induced radiosensitization.

Successful treatment of brain tumors such as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is limited in large part by the cumulative dose of Radiation Therapy (RT) that can be safely given and the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which limits the delivery of systemic anticancer agents into tumor tissue. Consequently, th...
