Radioenhancer

Radioenhancers are called nanomaterials that act directly on the diseased tissue due to their physical properties and are often used in combination in radiotherapy for cancer. This allows lower doses to be used locally more effectively and thus significantly reduces the burden on the surrounding tissue. Some nanoformulations can release heat locally through irradiation and thus damage the diseased tissue.

Prerequisites for use:

• Complexity and manufacturing costs of industrial-scale production under GMP conditions.
• Adaptation to modern forms of production such as "continuous manufacturing
• Development of processes for up-scaling and industrial producibility
• Investigation of environmental effects by means of life cycle analyses
