Abstract

In this research, Increasing the dose of cancer cells compared to normal cells is done by adding gold nanoparticles to the tumor.Gold nanoparticles due to biocompatibility and low toxicity have been considered in recent years. Results of studies in this field represents an increase in radiation dose to the tumor with gold nanoparticles is reached.
