ABSTRACT

The goal of our preliminary study is to show that a minimal of overall body toxicity while maximizing the cancer tumor treatment may be achieved in a novel approach where minute amounts of coated nanoparticles may be radiologically activated prior to treatment and “coerce” tumor cells into readily absorb these nanoparticles. This targeted intracytoplasmic delivery of short-lived radiologically activated nanoparticles could provide less “whole-body” radiation dose while delivering a short lived potent tumor localized dose, along with their low toxicity may prove to be another tool in the treatment of diverse cancers.

KEYWORDS

Nanoparticles, neutron activation, irradiation, cancer, metabolism, Warburg effect, glutamine, glucose.
