In this work, we investigated the biodistribution and radiosensitization effects of different types of nanoparticles in preclinical mouse models. First, we developed a mathematical model in order to simulate the route of the nanoparticles inside the murine body after injection, as well as their concentrations in the bloodstream, organs and the tumor over time. We then proceeded to quantify how gold coated nanoparticles inside a tumor can affect the efficacy of radiotherapy. The radiosensitizing effect was quantified by Monte Carlo simulations including a detailed DNA model.
