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. 000007518 540__ $$fCC BY 000007518 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000007518 650__ $$aRadiation$$025066 000007518 650__ $$aImmunotherapy$$020724 000007518 650__ $$aNanoparticles$$037592 000007518 650__ $$aNanotechnology$$034718 000007518 6531_ $$acancer 000007518 6531_ $$alung cancers 000007518 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000007518 692__ $$aDepartment of Biomedical Engineering$$041397 000007518 7001_ $$aReda, Moataz$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000007518 7201_ $$aYantasee, Wassana$$uOregon Health and Science University$$eAdvisor$$7Personal 000007518 8564_ $$97e772b49-afc5-4d32-b9e5-1265edcbe7f9$$s2809239$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7518/files/reda.moataz.2019.pdf 000007518 905__ $$a/rest/prod/n5/83/xv/58/n583xv58g 000007518 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7518$$pstudent-work 000007518 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
