Tween-20-Modified BiVO₄ Nanorods for CT Imaging-Guided Radiotherapy of Tumor.

ABSTRACT: Oral cancer is the most common malignant tumor in the oral and maxillofacial region, which seriously threatens the health of patients. At present, radiotherapy is one of the commonly used methods for oral cancer treatment. However, the resistance of cancerous tissues to ionizing radiation, as well as the side effects of X-rays on healthy tissues, still limit the application of radiotherapy. Therefore, how to effectively solve the above problems is still a challenge at present. Generally speaking, elements with high atomic numbers, such as bismuth, tungsten, and iodine, have a high X-ray attenuation capacity. Using nanomaterials containing these elements as radiosensitizers can greatly improve the radiotherapy effect. At the same time, the modification of nanomaterials based on the above el
