商品描述

Improved targeting of abnormal cells and tissue in the radiotherapy of cancer has been a long-standing goal of researchers. The central purpose of nanoparticle-enhanced radiotherapy (NPRT) is to more precisely control where the radiation dose is delivered, desirably with subcellular precision, provided we can find a method to bring the nanoparticles to target as well as control their concentration and size distribution.

The contents within this book will cover the rationale and fundamental principles of NPRT, optimal nanoparticle sizes, concentrations, design and fabrication, effective nanoparticle delivery methods, emerging clinical applications of NRT modalities, treatment planning and quality assurance and the potential of NPRT in global health. This volume will serve as a resource for researchers, educators and industry, and as a practical guide or comprehensive reference for students, research trainees and others working in cancer nanomedicine.

 

Key Features

  • Covers the most important advances in nanoparticle-aided radiation therapy over the last few decades
  • Features contributions from leaders in the field
  • Focuses first on the fundamentals of radiosensitization, then it continues with imaging methods and concludes with various clinical applications

商品描述(中文翻譯)

改善癌症放射治療中對異常細胞和組織的靶向性一直是研究人員的長期目標。納米粒子增強放射治療（NPRT）的核心目的是更精確地控制輻射劑量的施加位置，理想情況下能達到亞細胞的精度，前提是我們能找到將納米粒子送達目標的方法，以及控制其濃度和大小分佈。

本書的內容將涵蓋NPRT的基本原理和理論基礎、最佳納米粒子大小、濃度、設計和製造、有效的納米粒子傳遞方法、新興的NRT模式臨床應用、治療計劃和質量保證，以及NPRT在全球健康中的潛力。本書將作為研究人員、教育工作者和業界的資源，並作為學生、研究實習生及其他從事癌症納米醫學工作者的實用指南或綜合參考。

主要特色

- 涵蓋過去幾十年來納米粒子輔助放射治療的最重要進展
- 由該領域的領導者貢獻內容
- 首先聚焦於放射增敏的基本原理，然後介紹成像方法，最後總結各種臨床應用
