What are the Benefits of Nanotechnology in Radiotherapy?
The integration of nanotechnology in radiotherapy offers several benefits:
Enhanced Sensitization: Nanoparticles can act as radiosensitizers, increasing the sensitivity of cancer cells to radiation. Reduced Side Effects: By targeting cancer cells more precisely, side effects on surrounding healthy tissues are minimized. Improved Imaging: Some nanoparticles are designed to enhance imaging, allowing for better monitoring of treatment progress.
