The Future Role of Nanoparticles in Radiation Therapy

Abstract

This comprehensive book delves into the latest advancements in radiotherapy, offering an in-depth exploration of groundbreaking techniques poised to revolutionize cancer treatment. Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) leverages advanced imaging technology to precisely target tumors during sessions. Integrating PET imaging, Biology-Guided Radiation Therapy (BGRT) represents a cutting-edge approach in cancer treatment. Beyond photons, electrons, and protons, Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) introduces a novel perspective on particle use. Key innovations such as Flash-RT, radiomic features, immunotherapy, and nanoparticles are meticulously examined, showcasing their potential to enhance treatment precision and efficacy. This book provides a thorough overview of these innovative approaches, contributing to the ongoing evolution of radiotherapy. The artificial intelligence is also highlighted, emphasizing its role in accelerating progress and achieving goals. It is an essential resource for clinicians, researchers, and students aiming to stay at the forefront of cancer treatment advancements. Adopting new technologies and methodologies greatly enhances cancer patient outcomes worldwide and expands the possibilities in radiotherapy.
