The present invention is directed to methods for the treatment of cancer with a combination of radiation, cerium oxide nanoparticles and at least one chemotherapeutic agent. Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CONPs) are nanometer-sized crystals of cerium oxide, typically ranging between about one nanometer to about 20 nanometers in longest dimension. The present methods use cerium oxide nanoparticles to enhance radiation-induced and chemotherapy-induced cancer cell death and also reduce the toxicity associated with radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
本发明涉及用辐射、氧化铈纳米粒子和至少一种化疗剂组合治疗癌症的方法。氧化铈纳米粒子(CONPs)是纳米尺寸的氧化铈晶体,其最长尺寸通常在约 1 纳米到约 20 纳米之间。本方法使用氧化铈纳米粒子来增强辐射诱导和化疗诱导的癌细胞死亡,同时降低与放疗和化疗相关的毒性。
