VIABILITY OF CERIUM OXIDE NANOPARTICLES AS A RADIOPROTECTOR AGAINST PROTON RADIATION FOR NON-MALIGNANT CELLS
… nanoparticles have recently shown to act as a radioprotector for non-malignant cells while sensitizing tumor cells to x-rays. However, research is required to determine if the same benefits are present for heavy charged-particle radiation. This dissertation research investigates the efficacy of …

The potential of the superoxide dismutase inhibitor, diethyldithiocarbamate as an adjuvant to radiotherapy
… also a thiol compound, and thus may act as a radioprotector by modifying tissue oxygenation status or by free radical scavenging. This study has concerned itself primarily with the inhibition of superoxide dismutase by diethyldithiocarbamate in order to sensitize tumours to ionizing radiation. …

Protecting Healthy Cells Against the Negative Effects of Radiation Therapy for Lung Cancer
… I show that CDDO-Me can be used as a radioprotector in normal non-cancerous human lung and breast epithelial cells, whereas CDDO-Me does not further protect cancer lines from radiation-induced cytotoxicity, nor does it protect experimentally transformed human bronchial epithelial cells …

Investigating the Effects of Particle Radiation Exposure on Lung Carcinogenesis
… a non-toxic anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative radioprotector (CDDO-EA) reduced 3B-1 induced oxidative stress and cancer initiation almost back to baseline. Thus, exposure to 3B-1 elicits significant changes in lung cancer initiation that can be mitigated using CDDO-EA.
