Nanoparticles (small particles) can be used to form a capsule around a drug that only comes off and releases what’s inside when the drug reaches the part of the body that needs treating, this makes is safer as the drugs can’t damage normal healthy tissue on their way to the site of the cancer. The plan for this study is to look at whether nanopartlcicles made of gold can help in the treatment of children’s cancers that need treating with radiotherapy (radiation which is used to kill cancer cells).
