XPO1 Inhibition Enhances Radiation Response in Preclinical Models of Rectal Cancer
25 Nov 2015
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Combination of radiation with radiosensitizing chemotherapeutic agents improves outcomes for locally advanced rectal cancer. Current treatment includes 5-fluorouracil-based chemoradiation prior to surgical resection; however pathologic complete response varies from 15% to 20%, prompting the need to identify new radiosensitizers. Exportin 1 (XPO1, also known as chromosome region 1, CRM1) mediates the...
