Radiation therapy: activation for gene transcription and the development of genetic radiotherapy-therapeutic strategies in oncology.

abstract：:There is an urgent need to develop new strategies to treat ovarian cancer, the most deadly gynecologic malignancy. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are emerging as novel therapeutic drugs in the treatment of a variety of cancers, including those resistant to standard chemotherapy. Since there are multiple HDAC is...
