Surgical adjuvant therapy in colon carcinoma: A human tumor spheroid model for evaluating radiation sensitizing agents [PDF]
Cancer, 1981 HT-29 human colon tumor cells growing as spheroids have been evaluated as a model system for measuring the response of human colon tumor cell to antineoplastic agents. HT-29 cells have been capacity to form spheroids up to 1 mm or more in diameter when grown in spinner culture.

Gadolinium nanoparticles and contrast agent as radiation sensitizers [PDF]
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2015 The goal of the present study was to evaluate and compare the radiosensitizing properties of gadolinium nanoparticles (NPs) with the gadolinium contrast agent (GdCA) Magnevist(®) in order to better understand the mechanisms by which they act as radiation sensitizers. This was determined following either low energy synchrotron irradiation or high energy
