Radiobiology and the Renewed Potential for Nanoparticles

In a previous Oncology Scan, the Biology Editors discussed the synergy between radiation therapy and immunotherapy (1). In this edition, they examine the implications of nanotechnology. The clinical potential of nanotechnology has yet to be fully recognized (2). However, the past 2 decades have seen significant advances in nanotechnology-based tools in medicine. These developments have led to a myriad of conceptual design approaches that improve the therapeutic index of various drugs by overcoming the challenges of delivery (3).
