    Abstract
    Recently nanoparticles (NPs) have been introduced and used in combination with therapeutic approaches to develop nanotechnology-enabled medicine. These nanostructures allow for the exploitation of the physiochemical properties which may be beneficial in cancer treatment. The use of NPs in nanomedicine has proven successful in modern chemotherapeutics and has demonstrated promising potential in in vivo and in vitro radiosensitization studies. This is a baseline study aimed to determine the cytotoxic effects of AuNPs for potential radiosensitization analysis. The study analysed the effects of different AuNP sizes (30, 50 and 80nm), concentrations (5, 10 and 15 μg/ml) over various time periods in CHOK1 and A549 cells.
