Gadolinium-Based Nanoparticles for Theranostic MRI-Guided Radiosensitization in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Background: Radiation therapy (RT) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is limited by low tolerance of the liver to radiation, whereas radiosensitizers are effective in reducing the required radiation dose. Multimodality gadolinium-based nanoparticles (AGuIX) are small and have enhanced permeability an...
