Abstract:
Radiotherapy is one of the most widely used treatments for cancer; however, the development of tumor radioresistance is an ongoing problem. Agents that target tumor angiogenesis are being used in combination with radiotherapy to improve the therapeutic index without a clear understanding of how these agents may affect radiosensitization. This article discusses recently published studies that may shed some light on the underlying signaling mechanisms that are involved in the interactions of antiangiogenic agents with ionizing radiation.

Cancer Therapies
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...
