Fulltext PDFRadiation therapy stands as a cornerstone in the arsenal against cancer. The burgeoning field of nanotechnology has ushered in a slew of innovative strategies for combating this malady. the efficacy of radiation therapy. This novel approach has captivated the radiation Among these, the deployment of radiosensitizers, particularly those based on metal nanoparticles, marks a significant stride in augmenting oncology community, heralding a potent modality for cancer eradication. Metal nanoparticles, characterized by their high atomic numbers, exhibit distinctive photoelectric absorption properties, rendering them exceptionally efficacious as radiosensitizers. This review encapsulates the recent breakthroughs and the mechanistic insights into the application of metal nanoparticles in cancer radiotherapy. The insights gleaned from these advancements lay the groundwork for refining and clinically integrating the next generation of radiosensitizers derived from metal nanoparticles.
