Combined modality including novel sensitizers in gynecological cancers

Yuedan Zhou et al.

Summary: The standard treatment for locally advanced gynecological cancers is platinum-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy, but current chemotherapeutic drugs are only transiently effective and patients often develop resistance and distant metastases. This review discusses novel therapies that could work synergistically with conventional chemoradiotherapy, including anti-angiogenic agents, immunotherapy, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes therapy, and apoptosis inducers. Radiosensitizers such as nanoparticles are also being tested to maximize the effect of radiotherapy locally.

New enzyme-targeting radiosensitizer (KORTUC II) treatment for locally advanced or recurrent breast cancer

Taiju Shimbo et al.

Summary: KORTUC II, a widely used radiosensitizer in Japan, has shown effective treatment for locally advanced breast cancer and recurrent breast cancer, achieving high rates of local tumor control. It is expected to be an inexpensive and promising radiotherapy method due to its safety and excellent radio-sensitizing effect.
