Abstract excerpt
Hyperthermia has long been known as a radio-sensitizing agent that displays anti-tumor effects, and has been developed as a therapeutic application. The mechanisms of hyperthermia-induced radio-sensitization are highly associated with inhibition of DNA repair. Our investigations aimed to show how hyperthermia inactivate homologous recombination repair in the process of sensitizing cells to ionizing radiation by...
