X-ray beam, adipose tissue, gold nanoparticles, radiation treatment sessionsAbstract
The reduction in the number of radiotherapy sessions is a key target in the field of radiotherapy. An essential technique to reach this target is by using nanoparticle substances as absorption factors for the targeted organ in which a given radiation is utilized. Using the nanotechnology approach would improve radiotherapy sessions. Improving the radiotherapy sessions reflects the large number of cancer cell destruction when compared with the destroyed cell number with absence absorption factor. In this work, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were applied as an absorption factor for cancerous adipose tissue together using a beam of highly energetic photons whose energy is up to 2 MeV. The resulting data demonstrated that there is an improvement in the radiotherapy sessions when applying gold nanoparticles as an absorption factor. The finding of this study could indicate a clear reduction in the radiotherapy session figures to approach 5 to 3 weeks, based on the photon's energy, instead of applying the routine radiotherapy sessions number which is known to have up to 7 weeks.
