Pancreatic cancer has a dismal prognosis and requires better treatments. One promising approach aims at improving radiotherapy using nanoscintillators, triggering various radiotherapeutic effects upon X-ray irradiation, such as radiation dose-enhancement. In this paper, we study the ability of Lu3Al5O12:Pr@SiO2, a lutetium-based nanoscintillator to exert a radiation dose-enhancement effect in two human pancreatic cancer cell models, namely PANC-1 and MIA PaCa-2. Our findings highlight the dual contribution of Lu3Al5O12:Pr@SiO2 nanoparticles to radiotherapy enhancement, combining both physical dose-enhancement and biological modulation of DNA repair.
