Modelling Spatial Scales of Dose Deposition and Radiolysis Products from Gold Nanoparticle Sensitisation of Proton Therapy in A Cell: From Intracellular Structures to Adjacent Cells

Gold nanoparticle (GNP) enhanced proton therapy is a promising treatment concept offering increased therapeutic effect. It has been demonstrated in experiments which provided indications that reactive species play a major role. Simulations of the radiolysis yield from GNPs within a cell model were p...
