GGS nanoparticles, with strong near-infrared absorption and photothermal properties, enhance cellular sensitivity to radiotherapy. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.0pt&quot;&gt;Methods:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.0pt&quot;&gt; MCF-7 cells were treated with varying GGS concentrations and exposed to radiation doses of 50, 100, and 200 &lt;em&gt;cGy&lt;/em&gt;, alongside laser irradiation for 10, 40, and 80 &lt;em&gt;s&lt;/em&gt;. The IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; for GGS nanoparticles was approximately 350 &lt;em&gt;&amp;micro;M&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.0pt&quot;&gt;Results:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.0pt&quot;&gt; Results revealed a significant reduction in cell viability with the combined GGS and laser exposure (p&amp;lt;0.001), demonstrating a synergistic effect in a dose-dependent manner. Further enhancement in cell viability reduction was observed when GGS nanoparticles were combined with both hyperthermia and radiotherapy (p&amp;lt;0.01). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.0pt&quot;&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.0pt&quot;&gt; These findings suggest that GGS nanoparticles offer greater efficacy and reduced toxicity compared to gold nanoparticles, highlighting their potential for improving cancer therapy outcomes through combined hyperthermic and radiotherapeutic approaches.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
