Combination Therapy With Charged Particles and Molecular Targeting: A Promising Avenue to Overcome Radioresistance KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
Radiotherapy plays a central role in the treatment of cancer patients. Over the past decades, remarkable technological progress has been made in the field of conventional radiotherapy. In addition, the use of charged particles (e.g., protons and carbon ions) makes it possible to further improve dose deposition to the tumor, while sparing the surrounding healthy tissues. Despite these improvements, radioresistance and tumor recurrence are still ...
