Hyperthermia-induced DNA repair deficiency suggests novel therapeutic anti-cancer strategies
26 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
Local hyperthermia is an effective treatment modality to augment radio- and chemotherapy-based anti-cancer treatments. Although the effect of hyperthermia is pleotropic, recent experiments revealed that homologous recombination, a pathway of DNA repair, is directly inhibited by hyperthermia. The hyperthermia-induced DNA repair deficiency is enhanced by inhibitors of the cellular heat-shock response. Taken...
