Metabolic Constraints Limit DNA Repair Following Radiation Exposure

Radiotherapy is central in lung cancer treatment, but many tumors are intrinsically radioresistant. A mechanism of radioresistance in lung cancer is mutations in the KEAP1 gene, which is present in a significant number (15-20%) of lung cancers. This leads to...

Biological Efficacy of Quasi-Monoenergetic Convergent Photons

Recent advancements in x-ray optics have led to the development of a Bragg-reflecting x-ray lens to converge radiation beams into a focus spot (Convergent Radiotherapy and Radiosurgery, CRnR, Haifa, Israel), generating quasi-monoenergetic x-rays (~60 keV) wit...
