Identifying molecular targets and developing effective therapeutic regimens to improve NSCLC treatments and patient quality of life is needed. Nanoparticles possess unique properties to enhance treatment efficacy and reduce toxic side effects of traditional therapies. In my dissertation, I exploited versatile mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNP) to improve radiation therapy and immunotherapy, which are two key treatments for NSCLC patients.}, url = {http://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7518}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/n583xv58g}, }
