INTRODUCTION: Glioblastoma multiforme's (GBM) aggressiveness is potentiated in radioresistant tumor cells. The combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy has been envisioned as a therapeutic approach for GBM. The goal of this study is to determine if epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCg), a green tea-derived anti-cancer molecule, can modulate GBMs' response to ionizing radiation (IR) and whether this involves...
