Abstract Nanotechnology has been extensively applied in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, and is currently a major focus of research worldwide. Among the various nanomaterials, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are of particular interest to many researchers due to their superior properties of low cytotoxicity, good biocompatibility, and preferential accumulation in tumors (the “enhanced permeability and retention” effect), which in turn gives GNPs a potential application in cancer diagnostics, imaging, photothermal therapy, and radiotherapy. Many published studies have shown that GNPs can be used as a new ideal radiosensitizer, and therefore understanding the radiosensitizing effects of GNPs both in vitro and in vivo will be of great significance in the clinical translation of nanomedicine.
