Abstract

Systems and methods for radiation therapy for cancerous tumors using biocompatible quantum dots to provide radiation dose enhancement and resistance to metastasis are described. In an aspect, a method for radiation therapy treatment of cancer cells, includes, but is not limited to, preparing a radiosensitizer fluid, the radiosensitizer fluid including a plurality of biocompatible quantum dots; introducing the radiosensitizer fluid to cancer cells; and irradiating the cancer cells with the radiosensitizer fluid to promote generation of reactive oxygen species and inhibit radiation-induced enhancement of cell-migration.
