Abstract:
:Radiotherapy is an important component of cancer treatment modalities. With the rapid development of three-dimensional conformal, intensity-modulated, image-guided radiotherapy and the efficacy of radiotherapy continues to improve. Autophagy, as a catabolic process, is characterized by the formation of a double-membrane vesicle. Radiotherapy is known to induce autophagy in both cancer and normal cells. Here, we reviewed the interaction of radiotherapy and autophagy in the process of cancer treatment. The potential role of autophagy modification in enhancing radiotherapy treatment will also be reviewed.
