Abstract
This work investigates the dosimetric feasibility of employing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) or carboplatin nano-particles (CNPs) to enhance radiotherapy (RT) treatment efficacy for ocular cancers: retinoblastoma (Rb) and choroidal melanoma (CM), during kV-energy internal and external beam radiotherapy. The results predict that substantial dose enhancement may be achieved by employing AuNPs or CNPs in conjunction with radiotherapy for ocular cancer using kV-energy photon beams. Brachytherapy sources yield higher dose enhancement than the external beam in kV energy range. However, the external beam has the advantage of being non-invasive.
