Abstract:
Radiotherapy is one of the most important methods to treat malignant tumors. Due to the presence of radiation resistance, the effect of radiotherapy is not entirely satisfactory. To alleviate radiation resistance and improve the radiotherapy effect, radiosensitizers have emerged. As a newly discovered radiosensitizer, RRx-001 has a good clinical application prospect. This paper reviewed the research progress of RRx-001 in source, safety, radiotherapy sensitizing activity and related mechanisms.
