Abstract:
When radiation is combined with concurrent chemotherapy, independent cell kill and enhancement of tumor response may be expected. On the other hand, spatial cooperation may be the main rationale for sequential combination of the two modalities. Among many new agents being investigated, radiation-activated antitumor prodrugs have a therapeutic potential as a new method to effectively combine radiation and concurrent chemotherapy.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
