Radiation therapies are used to treat most of the cancer cases. One major limitation is the damage induced in the healthy tissues and tumor targeting is a major challenge. The addition of nanoparticles (NPs) is proposed as a novel strategy to amplify the radiations effects in the tumors (radiosensitization). The high-Z nanoparticles (platinum, gold, gadolinium) are found to be good candidates. To develop new nanoagents and improve treatment planning, a deeper knowledge of the fundamental mechanisms is required. It was found that radiosensitizers enhance the lethal effect of radiations (fast ions and gamma rays). This is attributed to a multiscale cascade of events, which includes the NPs activation and relaxation, the production of water ra...
