Abstract excerpt
KRAS mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cause increased levels of DNA damage and replication stress, suggesting that inhibition of the DNA damage response (DDR) is a promising strategy for radiosensitization of NSCLC. This study investigates the ability of a WEE1 inhibitor (AZD1775) and a PARP inhibitor (olaparib) to radiosensitize KRAS-mutant NSCLC cells and tumors. In addition to inhibiting the...
