Abstract

Radiotherapy is one of the most widely used treatments for cancer; however, the development of tumor radioresistance is an ongoing problem. Agents that target tumor angiogenesis are being used in combination with radiotherapy to improve the therapeutic index without a clear understanding of how these agents may affect radiosensitization. This article discusses recently published studies that may shed some light on the underlying signaling mechanisms that are involved in the interactions of antiangiogenic agents with ionizing radiation.
