Single-dose radiotherapy disables tumor cell homologous recombination via ischemia/reperfusion injury
27 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Tumor cure with conventional fractionated radiotherapy is 65%, dependent on tumor cell-autonomous gradual buildup of DNA double-strand break (DSB) misrepair. Here we report that single-dose radiotherapy (SDRT), a disruptive technique that ablates more than 90% of human cancers, operates a distinct dual-target mechanism, linking acid sphingomyelinase-mediated (ASMase-mediated) microvascular perfusion defects to...
