Abstract excerpt
Radiation therapy for cancer takes advantage of the higher sensitivity of tumor cells to radiation compared to normal tissue, but some cancers, such as glioblastoma (GBM) and malignant melanoma, acquire radiation resistance (radioresistance), rendering treatment ineffective. Radioresistance is characterized by strong activation of DNA repair mechanisms in response DNA damage induced by radiation, together with...
