A Master’s thesis at the College of Science, University of Karbala, discussed theoretically enhancing radiation therapy through the use of nano particles as radiation sensitizers.

The study, conducted by student Walaa Shalan Sarchan, aimed to investigate the impact of silver nanoparticles on radiation therapy and theoretically enhance its effectiveness. The research concluded by demonstrating the existence of a new technique in radiation therapy, reducing the number of radiation therapy sessions by half while increasing silver nanoparticles. This led to an increase in radiation sensitivity, accompanied by a decrease in the number of cancer cells in the lungs, confirming their complete destruction.
