In their article published in Phys. Med. Biol. 60 (2015) 4149-4168, Lin et alstudied the radiosensitizing effect of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) usingradiation transport simulations and a biological model for the survival ofirradiated cells. This comment points out several caveats to the methodlogyused by Lin et al. that may not be evident to readers and may contribute toconfusion in the literature about the radiation effects of gold nanoparticles.The two main caveats are the high mass fraction of gold considered and apotential problem with the modified local effect model used to predict cellsurvival.
