Influence of autophagy on the efficacy of radiotherapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autophagy is an important catabolic process in which cells digest and recycle their own cytoplasmic contents for maintaining cellular homeostasis. Interestingly, autophagy could play both pro-death and pro-survival roles in influencing the development of cancer via various signal pathways. As radiotherapy is one of the main treatment modalities for cancer, we reviewed the effect of autophagy modulations on radiosensitivity and radiotherapy efficacy in various cancer types. The future development of autophagy modifications for improving radiotherapy efficacy and cancer prognosis will also be discussed.

Introduction: Radiotherapy is one of the effective methods in the treatment of cancer. In the recent methods of radiotherapy, intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) technique by compensators is used. when photon beam passes the compensator, scattered photons can be generated within the compensator. The presence of scattered photons may complicate the design of compensators as...

Background: Acute radiation proctitis (ARP) is a usual adverse effect in patients undergoing pelvic radiotherapy. The symptoms include diarrhea, rectal blood or mucus discharge, fecal urgency and tenesmus with pain. Sucralfate, an aluminum-based salt of sucrose octasulfate, is a cytoprotective agent that forms a coating barrier at injured sites by adhering to mucoproteins. It has been used in t...
