Grant Activity:
Understanding the molecular mechanisms of cell death in radiotherapy
Purpose:
Radiotherapy (RT) is responsible for 40 percent of cancer cures. New technology enables RT delivery in fewer treatments using higher radiation dosages through a technique called 'ART'. While ART is effective in the clinic, the underlying mechanisms of cancer cell death are unclear. Here we show that ART induces two distinct waves of cancer cell death. We will characterize these waves of cell death and determine how to enhance tumour cell killing with pharmacological intervention.
