Specific molecular and cellular events induced by irradiated X-ray photoactivatable drugs raise the problem of co-toxicities : particular consequences for anti-cancer synchrotron therapy

Synchrotrons are capable of producing intense low-energy X-rays that enable the photoactivation of high-Z elements. Photoactivation therapy (PAT) consists of loading tumors with photoactivatable drugs and thereafter irradiating them at an energy, generally close to the K-edge of the element, that en...
