Carbon ion radiotherapy of human lung cancer attenuates HIF‐1 signaling and acts with considerably enhanced therapeutic efficiency
17 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
Carbon ion irradiation is an emerging therapeutic option for various tumor entities. Radiation resistance of solid tumors toward photon irradiation is caused by attenuation of DNA damage in less oxygenated tumor areas and by increased hypoxia‐inducible factor (HIF)‐1 signaling. Carbon ion irradiation acts independently of oxygen;however, the role of HIF‐1 is unclear. We analyzed the effect of HIF‐1 signaling...
