Abstract Introduction Breast cancer (BC) cells often develop multiple mechanisms of chemo- and radio-resistance during tumor progression, which is the major reason for failure breast therapy. Targeted nanomedicines have tremendous therapeutic potential in BC treatment over their free drug counterparts. Searching radio-sensitizers to overcome such resistance therefore urgently required. The goal this study evaluate compare radio-sensitizer efficacy amygdalin -folic acid nanoparticles (Amy-F)...
