Inhibition of DNA-PK may improve response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in rectal cancer
12 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
Treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer includes chemoradiation and surgery, but patient response to treatment is variable. Patients who have a complete response have improved outcomes; therefore, there is a critical need to identify mechanisms of resistance to circumvent them. DNA-PK is involved in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks caused by radiation, which we found to be increased in rectal cancer...
